Business Idea:
TalkToBuild is a user-friendly platform that helps aspiring builders document, showcase, and iterate on their projects, maintaining momentum beyond hackathons or initial setbacks.
Problem:
Many creators start projects during hackathons or personal efforts but struggle to keep them alive, showcase progress, and find support after initial failure or technical hurdles.
Solution:
A structured, accessible tool that enables users to record their project’s journey, share updates, and receive feedback, fostering continuous development regardless of setbacks.
Target Audience:
Early-stage founders, developers, makers, and hobbyists who want to build, document, and grow their ideas without relying solely on hackathon success or technical perfection.
Monetization:
Freemium subscription with premium features like advanced project analytics, community access, and mentorship connections, along with potential sponsored content.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Transforms the hackathon “build-in-public” mindset into a long-term, supportive platform, emphasizing persistence and community over fleeting project wins, unlike typical project showcase sites.
Launch Strategy:
Start by creating a minimal viable product (MVP) for documenting and sharing project updates, then invite early adopter builders for feedback, refine the platform, and promote via developer communities and social media platforms focused on innovation.
