"The most interesting one I've seen so far... is for pre-IPO equities being traded."

Market Gap

Investors lack access to pre-IPO equity trading opportunities.

Many investors miss out on lucrative pre-IPO opportunities due to the opaque nature of the current investment banking process. Traditional IPOs often result in significant price discrepancies and lead to lost potential gains for both companies and investors. The existing platforms do not cater to retail investors who want exposure to pre-IPO equities. This lack of access not only limits investment opportunities but also hinders price discovery for new companies entering the market. As more companies stay private longer, addressing this gap becomes increasingly crucial for broader market participation and investment diversification.

Summary

This business idea focuses on creating a Pre-IPO Trading Platform that leverages Hyperliquid's technology to allow investors to trade pre-IPO equities. By utilizing the permissionless capabilities of Hyperliquid, this platform would enable easier access to pre-IPO opportunities, allowing investors to trade shares of companies before they go public. This solution addresses the current inefficiencies in the IPO process and enables better price discovery for potential listings. By providing retail investors with access to pre-IPO equities, it opens up new avenues for investment and could lead to higher valuations and returns for both investors and companies.

How should I validate this marketplace idea before building it?

2:34 PM

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

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Generalist 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 medium 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 3-6 months, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available $1,000-$10,000
  • Plan for scalability from day one

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