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

Required Inputs
- Category/industry
- Target audience
- Constraints (budget, tech capability, geography)
- Desired model (B2B/B2C/marketplace/etc.)
Workflow
- Pain-point scan: identify unresolved audience needs.
- Idea generation: produce multiple distinct startup concepts.
- Validation lens: evaluate demand, feasibility, differentiation, monetization.
- Narrative shaping: craft concise investor-facing concept pitch.
- Next steps: propose validation experiments.
Output Format

Guardrails
