I agree that's a good way to find a problem. However I would add that it should be a problem you are willing to pay to be solved.

- chii 5y agothats not necessarily true. even if you weren't going to pay, someone might. The solution must first exist though, and having yourself as the first customer is valuable enough.
- cercatrova 5y agoThe solution does not need to exist first. It's often said in books like Lean Startup to presell your solution and then build it based on having that initial income as validation.
- mbrodersen 5y agoTalk to your potential customers before writing any code. It will save you years of wasted effort.
- mbrodersen 5y agoYou nailed it. Ask your stamp collectors how much they are willing to pay for a solution before writing even 1 line of code.
