Ideas are by defintion always harder to find. I think thats true but trivial. The answer would always be yes. Ideas are mostly solutions looking for a problem and mostly based on companies looking for wholes in the market they can fit into. There is another way to think about it which is to ask are problems harder to find and is it harder to get ideas for solutions to these problems. I did an ASK HN called "What problem in your industry would be a potential startup" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9799007 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9799007 takinola followed up on that with this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13139638#13145691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13139638#13145691 I think one thing that really stand out is that the real trick is to find the real problem that hide underneath the obvious solutions. And they might be harder to find because entrepreneurs especially in Silicon Valley are young men who don't have much experience in what problems exist out there and is worth solving. I wrote a follow up on the HN thread too. https://medium.com/black-n-white/the-problem-with-problems-47ee63bb3511 https://medium.com/black-n-white/the-problem-with-problems-4...
