01
Describe your skills, experience, and constraints
List what you're genuinely good at, what you know from your day job, the hours you can commit, and what interests you. Specific beats general: "8 years in logistics, knows customs paperwork inside out" produces far better ideas than "business experience".
02
Set your budget and preferences
Pick a realistic startup budget range and, if you have one, a preferred industry or business model — SaaS, e-commerce, service, content, or marketplace. The generator only proposes ideas that fit inside those constraints.
03
Pick one idea and run its validation test
Every idea ships with a specific first customer, realistic startup costs, a monetization model, three concrete first steps, and a validation test you can run in under two weeks for under $200. Don't pick five ideas — pick one and validate it.
