Startup Idea Generator

Use this skill when a user wants startup concepts in a category, for an audience, or around specific problems.

Trigger Conditions

• User asks for startup ideas
• User wants business ideas for a niche
• User wants investor-ready concept framing

Required Inputs

1. Category/industry
2. Target audience
3. Constraints (budget, tech capability, geography)
4. Desired model (B2B/B2C/marketplace/etc.)

Workflow

1. Pain-point scan: identify unresolved audience needs.
2. Idea generation: produce multiple distinct startup concepts.
3. Validation lens: evaluate demand, feasibility, differentiation, monetization.
4. Narrative shaping: craft concise investor-facing concept pitch.
5. Next steps: propose validation experiments.

Output Format

• 5 startup ideas with names and one-line thesis
• For each: problem, solution, target customer, business model, moat
• Quick validation plan for top 2 ideas

Guardrails

• Ensure ideas are meaningfully different from each other.
• Avoid purely hype-driven concepts.
• State uncertainty and assumptions explicitly.
