Direct Quote

"You want to find one of these lost asset firms and you're going to contact them and say, look, we found these assets."

Market Gap

Individuals often lose track of old financial assets.

Many individuals inherit or discover financial assets that are unclaimed or lost, such as certificates of deposit, savings bonds, or forgotten accounts. These assets can often be challenging to locate and reclaim due to outdated banking practices or the closure of institutions. Current methods for recovery are often tedious and require extensive knowledge or legal assistance, creating a gap in the market for a specialized service. The cost of not recovering these assets can mean significant lost wealth, especially as individuals age and their financial situations become more complex.

Summary

The idea is to create a specialized service focused on recovering lost or unclaimed financial assets for individuals. This service would assist clients in locating and reclaiming old accounts, certificates, or other financial instruments that may have been forgotten or are difficult to track down. The service would partner with financial institutions and use both technology and human expertise to streamline the recovery process. By charging a fee or commission on the recovered assets, this service would cater to both individuals and estate executors who need assistance in managing inherited wealth. This addresses a clear pain point in the financial management process, particularly for older clients or those dealing with deceased estates.

How should I validate this service idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a service 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 < 1 month, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available < $100
  • Plan for scalability from day one

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