StartupWorkshop is a validation tool built by founders, for founders. We got tired of spending weeks on research before knowing if an idea had legs, so we built the thing we wished existed. It finds real market opportunities, matches them to your skills, and lets you test demand before writing a line of code. We use it ourselves — and decided to open it up.

Every week our system scans real conversations across the internet for unmet needs and pain points. It scores and ranks those opportunities against your profile, so you only see what actually fits. From there you can deep-dive into any opportunity — competitive landscape, market sizing, idea candidates — in minutes instead of weeks.

Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with full Pro-level access, no credit card required. After that, plans start at $12/month. We kept pricing straightforward because we hate hidden tiers as much as you do.

You could spend 20–40 hours per idea scanning forums, reading competitor sites, and building spreadsheets. We did that for years — it's how we know exactly what to automate. StartupWorkshop compresses that entire loop into minutes. You get structured competitive intelligence, not a pile of browser tabs.

Anything from SaaS and developer tools to marketplaces and consumer apps. Every opportunity comes from a real conversation where someone expressed a genuine need — nothing is hallucinated. You get the original pain point, source evidence, and a quality score so you can decide fast.

Each week we run a broad scan and discover dozens of raw opportunities. Our matching layer then filters those down to your top picks based on your skills, interests, and preferences, and drops them in your inbox. You wake up to a curated shortlist — no effort required on your end.

Absolutely. One click generates a conversion-optimized landing page, tracks visitors and signups, and shows you a real conversion rate. You can hook up a custom domain too — registered in your name, so it's yours from day one.

Yes, fully. We built StartupWorkshop around a simple principle: your work belongs to you. Domains are registered in your name. Research data, email lists, experiment results — all yours. If you ever leave, you take everything with you. No lock-in, no games.

Solo founders, indie hackers, and small teams who'd rather validate fast than guess. We built StartupWorkshop because we are that person. Whether it's your first idea or your tenth, it takes the grind out of the research phase so you can focus on building the right thing.

We combine several best-in-class AI models for different parts of the pipeline — deep analysis, real-time web research, and profile matching. The stack evolves constantly as better models ship, which is the whole point: you get the best available intelligence without having to keep up with the AI landscape yourself.
