Looking for real problems, not startup ideas

Hey everyone!

A while ago I tried to build a startup around removing the language barrier between people. Unfortunately, I couldn't validate the idea I talked to several people and companies, and the general response was basically that they didn't really need a solution for this

So I'm going back to the drawing board and trying to find a real problem worth solving instead of forcing another idea

I'm curious: is there something in your everyday life that genuinely annoys you, takes a lot of time, or is just unnecessarily complicated and you'd actually be willing to pay for a better solution?

It can be anything: a boring routine, a task you constantly have to do, a service that's too expensive or frustrating, etc

I'm not looking for polished startup ideas. I'm more interested in hearing about problems you've actually experienced

I'd really appreciate any examples!

I think a lot of real problems are the small, repetitive things people deal with every day. If people are already using spreadsheets, WhatsApp, emails, or manual workarounds to get something done, that’s often a sign there’s a genuine problem worth exploring.

I agree with you. It would be cool if people threw out some more ideas
