Lightweight project management for small teams

how to find your next $10k/month startup idea: go to g2, capterra, or trustpilot right now. search for any popular software in any niche filter by 1-2 star reviews only. now start reading. you're looking for patterns. when 10+ people complain about the exact same thing, you've found the problem you're going to solve. here's why this works: these aren't random opinions. these are paying customers who are so frustrated they took time to write reviews. they're literally begging someone to solve their problem. example from my research yesterday: searched "project management" on g2 and capterra. read 150 negative reviews. 37 people said the same thing: "too complex for small teams." that's not feedback. that's a business opportunity. the beauty of this approach: > validated demand (people already pay for solutions) > clear problem definition (they tell you exactly what's wrong) > existing market (no need to create demand) > pricing benchmark (see what they currently pay) > feature roadmap (they list what's missing) most founders guess what to build. smart founders build what people already want. i used this exact method to find the idea for my current startup. now at 350+ paying customers. stop brainstorming in isolation. start listening to angry customers. they're telling you exactly what to build. you just have to listen.
