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.
