Show HN: Houston – Find great problems to solve via a weekly newsletter

2 points by XavierPladevall 7 years ago · 0 comments · 2 min read


I posted this tool I created on a small subreddit last week and it was incredibly well received

Houston - https://houston.substack.com/

I wanted to share it on here as well since ya'll might find it useful to find great problems to work on and build businesses around that!

What is it? Houston is a weekly newsletter with a curated list of interesting problems that people have but have struggled to solve. The idea is that with time Houston becomes a repository of great business opportunities for entrepreneurs that are not sure where to start or don't have a great idea that they're passionate about.

Why did you do this? I created Houston because as a future entrepreneur I've personally struggled with finding good problems to solve. I keep hearing that you need to solve a problem that you yourself have but frankly after thinking long and hard I haven't really being able to come with an idea that I think can one day become a great company. Ironically this motivated me to create Houston.

Sign up and submit your own problems via Twitter with the hashtag #HoustonWHAP or by email to get featured in next week's newsletter! Let me know if you have any questions(:

P.S.: I am calling this project Houston as in "Houston, we have a problem". I thought it was clever ¯\(ツ)
