​💡 Volume vs. Niche: Is it better to generate 25k startup ideas or filter for one $1M pain point?

This week, a tool went viral for using AI to generate 25,000 startup ideas from Reddit. It's a great engineering feat, but it raises a fundamental question for us builders:

​As a Founder, does volume help you more than depth?

​We built NicheSignal on the belief that filtering is the key. Instead of 25k ideas, our engine is designed to focus on high-cost B2B pain points (like unexpected MLOps scale issues or Token Cost volatility).

​Our engine skips the inspiration phase and goes straight to the revenue validation phase.

​My Question to the IH Community: In the early stage, are you looking for broad inspiration to spark an idea, or are you looking for the deeply validated, expensive problem that you can build around right now?

Curious to hear the community's thoughts. If you want to see the kind of focused, validated insight our engine found this week, you can check out what we're building: https://nichesignal.substack.com
