Curated Ideas & Validation Tools for 'Boring, Profitable' Businesses
The original poster, experienced in high-growth startups, explicitly seeks a 'boring, profitable business' ($20k/month, remote, async, niche audience already paying, small team, productized). This defines a meta-niche: entrepreneurs who prioritize calm, profitability, and lifestyle over 'unicorn' aspirations. A SaaS product could cater to this specific entrepreneurial mindset by: curating a database of 'boring but profitable' niche business ideas (e.g., B2B services for overlooked industries, niche data tools, solutions derived from expired patents, as mentioned in comments), providing tailored market validation tools for these niches, and offering playbooks/templates for lean MVP development, async operations, and sustainable growth. The product would resonate with a growing segment of founders who are disillusioned with the 'growth at all costs' mentality and seek predictable, manageable success.
