Direct Quote

"You're actually seeing some crossover between public and private opportunity sets."

Market Gap

Investors lack access to hybrid investment opportunities.

Many investors are restricted to either public or private market investments, missing out on unique opportunities that exist at the intersection of both. This bifurcation limits their ability to capitalize on emerging trends that could benefit from both public liquidity and private growth potential. As companies increasingly stay private longer, a crossover investment platform could provide investors access to these opportunities and diversify their portfolios effectively. Furthermore, traditional investment vehicles do not easily accommodate the evolving landscape of investment opportunities across public and private sectors.

Summary

The business idea is to create a platform that facilitates investments in companies that are transitioning between public and private markets. This platform would allow investors to access a broader range of investment opportunities, capitalizing on the unique traits of both markets. By offering a blend of public and private investment options, the platform could attract institutional investors as well as high-net-worth individuals seeking diversified investment strategies. The platform could leverage technology to streamline the investment process, provide analytics on market trends, and allow for sophisticated portfolio management that respects the unique characteristics of each investment class.

How should I validate this platform idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a platform idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Subject Matter Expert to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your high difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and > 1 year, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available > $10,000
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...
