Business Idea:
A curated, no-frills showcase platform for indie makers to share and promote their tools and products, giving every creator a fair chance to be seen without overwhelming feeds or dominant players.
Problem:
Many independent creators struggle to gain visibility for their tools and products amid crowded platforms like Product Hunt and social media, often feeling drowned out or overlooked.
Solution:
A simple, focused website that features a limited number of products (e.g., 10 on the homepage), allowing indie makers to showcase their work in a clean, distraction-free environment, fostering genuine exposure and connection.
Target Audience:
Indie makers, small product creators, and early-stage entrepreneurs seeking visibility for their tools and innovations without relying on paid ads or complex marketing tactics.
Monetization:
Potential revenue from listing fees, featured placements, or optional sponsored listings, while maintaining free access to standard submissions for creators.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
A minimalistic, curated platform that emphasizes fairness and quality over volume, offering equal chances for all creators to stand out in a simple, community-focused environment.
Launch Strategy:
Start by building a straightforward site with a limited product showcase, collect feedback from early users, promote organically via social media and communities, and continually iterate based on user input.
