Frequently asked questions

How do I validate a problem is worth solving?
Talk to 10-20 people who experience the problem. Check whether they actively seek solutions. Look for existing workarounds, which signal genuine pain.
What is the difference between a problem and a need?
A need is what someone wants to achieve. A problem is the obstacle preventing them from achieving it. Good products solve specific problems, not vague needs.
How do I find problems in a market I am not in?
Read niche community forums, subreddits, and Facebook groups where the audience vents frustrations. Review one-star and two-star product reviews in the category.
Should I solve a problem I have personally experienced?
Having the problem yourself is a major advantage. You understand it deeply, can evaluate solutions intuitively, and stay motivated through the hard parts of building.
