Startup Ideation
This walks you through startup ideation using frameworks from product leaders like Dalton Caldwell and Ryan Hoover. It asks about your personal experience and skills, helps you apply the "Why Now" test to figure out what's changed to make your idea newly possible, and flags common tarpit ideas that attract founders but rarely work. The core insight is solid: the best ideas come from unique personal experience and differentiated information sources, not chasing whatever's trending on Twitter. Use it when you're brainstorming business ideas or trying to evaluate whether something is worth pursuing. It won't generate ideas for you, but it'll push you toward better ones by asking the right questions.
