Business Idea:
A minimalist online platform dedicated to indie makers, showcasing a curated set of their tools and products—10 items on the homepage at a time—to boost visibility and community support for small creators.
Problem:
Many independent makers struggle to get noticed in crowded markets or on large platforms, making it hard for their innovative tools and products to reach the right audience.
Solution:
A simple, focused website that features a limited number of curated indie products, providing a dedicated space for makers to showcase their work and attract interested users without overwhelming noise from larger platforms.
Target Audience:
Independent entrepreneurs, small tech/tool creators, and passionate makers seeking increased exposure and genuine customer engagement without relying on paid ads or complex marketing.
Monetization:
Revenue can be generated through listing fees, featured placements, or partnerships, while maintaining free access for users to encourage community growth.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Its curated, minimal design prioritizes quality over quantity, giving every product a fair shot—opposed to saturated platforms like Product Hunt—making it a fair and accessible showcase for all.
Launch Strategy:
Start by building a simple, publicly accessible site with a curated set of products, gather feedback, focus on community engagement, and grow organically through authentic outreach and personal messaging.
