About One Startup a Day
The startup idea generator built for founders who ship.
One Startup a Day is the daily startup ideas briefing trusted by indie hackers, solopreneurs, and product teams who crave verified opportunities. We mix human product strategy with a battle-tested research stack to surface an idea of the day for startups, complete with the context, stack, and messaging needed to launch confidently.
Our story
We built One Startup a Day after years of watching founders drown in generic inspiration threads. Between our own launches and advising accelerators, we learned that the toughest part isn’t ideation—it’s finding market validated startup ideas backed by real buyer pain. So we created a problem discovery platform that goes beyond hype and keeps builders obsessing over customers.
Today our entrepreneur idea research blends machine learning, human interviews, and signal tracking. Every morning we share the single opportunity we would chase if we were starting from zero. It’s how busy founders find problems to build startup solutions around—without losing another weekend to scrolling and guessing.
How it works
Rank by traction
Signals are scored by urgency, search momentum, and founder fit to decide which problems deserve the next build sprint.
Craft the startup playbook
We translate the winning problem into a market-ready concept with positioning, solution outline, tech stack, and go-to-market hooks.
Ship the daily startup ideas
Subscribers receive a startup idea generator briefing every morning—complete with references so you can find problems to build startup offerings around.
Signals, not noise
We monitor Reddit, Quora, Google search journeys, founder forums, and launch archives to spot pain points surfacing again and again.
Launch-ready framing
Each insight lands with positioning, why-now context, tech stack guidance, and the next three moves so founders can execute immediately.
Community momentum
Thousands of makers lean on our briefs, trade playbooks, and keep each other honest about what customers actually need.
Mission & values
Our mission is simple: deliver daily startup ideas that are grounded in customer voices, ready for execution, and aligned with the realities of modern product building.
Transparency
Every recommendation cites the original threads and data so you can validate the signal yourself.
Craft
We shape each idea like a Product Hunt launch—clear story, sharp messaging, polished visuals, and shipping momentum.
Actionability
No fluff—everything points you toward building, testing, and talking to customers within hours.
Why founders stay
Market validated startup ideas
We only publish concepts that show evidence of buyer intent, urgent pain, and existing spend happening right now.
Human-in-the-loop research
AI accelerates the sift, but our product strategists vet each opportunity to ensure it reads like a real brief, not a generic prompt.
Founder-first support
From idea of the day for startups to deep dives on positioning, we build resources that help indie founders punch above their weight.
Team snapshot
One Startup a Day is led by product strategists, growth operators, and builders who have shipped profitable SaaS, marketplaces, and tools-with-community playbooks. We have lived the zero-to-one grind and care deeply about helping founders keep momentum.
When we say we deliver entrepreneur idea research, we mean we sit in the same customer interviews, test landing pages, and prototype workflows right alongside you.
Meet the lead researcher
Our founder Asad is a repeat bootstrapper who has launched multiple Product Hunt chart-toppers. After fielding countless “what should I build?” messages, he turned his private signal tracker into the subscription briefing you read today.
He believes that when more builders chase market validated startup ideas, we get better products, stronger communities, and fewer ghost-town apps.
