Solution: A platform that uses data science to match startups with real-world problems, ensuring product development is need-driven.

Implementation: The platform could analyze market data, consumer trends, and online discussions to identify pressing problems. It would then align these problems with startups’ capabilities.

Challenges: Ensuring a broad and updated dataset might be challenging, as well as convincing startups to pivot or tweak their solutions based on the platform’s suggestions.

Monthly Fee: Startups looking for market fit would be the main customers. A fee of $50 to $200 per month could be viable, depending on the depth of analysis and support provided.
