From blank page
to building.
Every day, people vent about broken tools and missing products on Reddit, X, and niche forums. Spark picks up those frustrations and turns them into startup ideas you can actually test.

Why most founders
never start
Most people who want to start a business never do. In a longitudinal study of 969 adults, 63% of those with startup intentions had taken no action a year later (Kautonen, van Gelderen & Fink, 2015). The bottleneck isn't motivation — it's not having a specific problem worth solving.
Meanwhile, thousands of people post about frustrations on Reddit, X, and niche forums every day — complaints and feature requests that describe real, unsolved problems. That signal exists, but it's scattered across dozens of communities and buried in noise.
How it works
01
Listen
We pull from Reddit, X, and niche online communities daily — feature requests, complaints, workarounds people are forced to use.
02
Spot patterns
One angry post is noise. The same frustration showing up across multiple communities is a signal. We cluster related complaints and track which problems are growing.
03
Score and filter
Not every pain point is a business. Each signal gets evaluated on market size, existing competition, timing, and how feasible it is to build a first version quickly.
04
Package into Spark Cards
What survives becomes a Spark Card — the problem, who has it, ways to solve it, and what to do first.
Spark Cards
Every day, a fresh pack of startup ideas in a swipe-through mobile UI. Each card breaks down the problem, who has it, three ways you could solve it, and what to do first.
Why we're building this
Entrepreneurship shouldn't require a lucky break or a trust fund. Most people just need a starting point. That's what Spark is for.
