The Idea:
Building Lean Premise - AI-powered startup validation platform.
AI-native (live, not static database)
Multi-language (6 languages)
Mission-driven: 30% of net profits → dog rescue sanctuary
The Problem:
90% of startups fail. 42% because of "no market need."
Founders waste months validating bad ideas. I wasted months on 3 failed ideas in 2024 and 2025.
Current solutions:
- Big Ideas DB: static, manual curation, English only
- Manual research: Weeks of work, incomplete, gut-feeling based
- AI tools: Generic, no validation, no geopolitical context
The Solution:
AI that finds 100+ validated market opportunities daily.
What users get:
- Real market gaps (from Reddit, Twitter, forums, reviews, etc.)
- Market sizing with real data
- Competition analysis (who's building this, who's not)
- Geopolitical risk scoring (regulations, political stability, market readiness)
- Regional breakdowns (Spain vs LATAM, US vs UK, etc.)
- Investment requirements
- Recommended approach
Example opportunity:
SME Carbon Accounting Dashboard (Spain/EU)
Problem: EU mandates carbon reporting by 2027
Gap: 23,847 Spanish SMEs need this, no affordable tools exist
Market: €380M (EU-wide) Competition: Low (only enterprise players at €5k+/year)
Geopolitical Risk: Low (EU driving demand)
Investment: ~€35k Recommended: Start Spain → expand Italy/France
Not random ideas. Validated opportunities with actionable intelligence.
The Mission (Why This Matters): 30% of net profits → building a dog rescue sanctuary from scratch. From €0 to operational refuge in 18 months.
The Plan:
Phase 1 (Months 1-12): Save €60k for land + infrastructure
Phase 2 (Months 12-18): Build the refuge
Phase 3 (Month 18+): First dog enters
100% Transparent: - Live financial dashboard - Every receipt public - Monthly progress videos
Why dogs? I'm a founder. I know rejection. I know what needing a second chance feels like. Every abandoned dog deserves one too.
Meanwhile: 20% of the 30% goes to immediate impact - sterilizations, emergency vet bills, food donations. All receipts public.
