Business Idea: A platform combining Product Hunt, Kickstarter, and crypto to enable founders to raise funds upfront for feature development, allowing them to validate ideas and build with financial security before full expense.
Problem: Founders often give away significant equity or resources before their ideas are validated, risking over-investment based on unproven concepts, leading to burnout and reduced control.
Solution: A decentralized funding platform where startups can showcase their feature ideas, receive pre-commitments or investments from early supporters, and secure the necessary capital upfront to develop with confidence.
Target Audience: Early-stage founders, web3 enthusiasts, angel investors, and community supporters eager to fund promising features rather than uncertain fantasies.
Monetization: Platform fees on successful funding rounds, premium listings, and optional take percentages from raised funds.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Blends social validation and crypto-secured investments, allowing funding before building with transparency, community engagement, and reduced founder dilution.
Launch Strategy: Launch a minimal viable platform where founders can post verified feature ideas, gather pre-funding commitments, and run select pilot campaigns to validate demand and streamline the process.
