What is Startup Scratch?
Startup Scratch helps you turn daily frustrations into startup ideas. Just reflect on what annoyed you today, and AI suggests product ideas based on your answers. Save, filter, and build your own startup idea library — straight from real life.
Problem
Entrepreneurs struggle to systematically generate and manage startup ideas from real-life frustrations, leading to inconsistent ideation and missed opportunities.
