The startup process should begin with the problem.
Solveworthy helps people identify problems worth solving and find the people who can help solve them.
Why Solveworthy exists
People see real problems every day.
Some people have ideas for solving them, but lack the technical, business, design, marketing, financial, or operational skills to build alone.
Skilled people want meaningful things to build.
Many builders, designers, operators, advisors, and funders want to work on something useful, but do not always know which problem is worth their time.
What Solveworthy does
Solveworthy connects these groups by starting with the problem.
Public problems
Anyone can post a public problem they are tired of dealing with or seeing.
Protected opportunities
If someone has a private idea for solving a problem, they can post a problem-led opportunity without revealing the full solution publicly.
Application-based collaboration
Builders, designers, operators, advisors, funders, and researchers can apply to help.
Core rule
The problem is public.
Public problems help the community understand what people are actually tired of dealing with.
The solution is protected.
Users should not have to expose their full solution, strategy, MVP, technical method, or customer leads before trust is built.
The next step is collaboration.
Once the problem is clear, the right people can apply to help explore, validate, build, advise, or fund.
