The problem we solve — in their own words

“I spent 4 months building something nobody wanted. Wish I had real data before I started.”

— r/SaaS

“GummySearch shutting down left a massive hole. Nothing else does pain point scoring.

— r/Entrepreneur

“My biggest regret is not validating the idea properly. Gut feeling is not a business plan.”

— r/startups

“I browse Reddit for hours looking for problems to solve. There has to be a faster way.

— r/indiehackers

“Built an MVP, launched it, got 3 signups. Turns out nobody actually had the problem I imagined.”

— r/SaaS

“The hardest part isn't building — it's knowing WHAT to build. Everything else is execution.”

— r/startups

“I asked 20 friends if they'd use my app. All said yes. Zero signed up when I launched.”

— r/Entrepreneur

“Spent $15k on a product that solved a problem nobody was willing to pay for. Validation first, always.”

— r/smallbusiness

“Every successful founder I know obsessively reads forums to find real pain. It just takes forever manually.”

— r/indiehackers

“The ideas that work aren't the clever ones. They're the ones where people are already screaming for a solution.”

— r/Entrepreneur

“I wish someone had shown me what people actually complain about before I spent a year on the wrong thing.”

— r/startups

Surveys lie. Interviews are biased. Reddit threads at 2am? That's where the truth lives.”

— r/SaaS

“Launched 3 products. The only one that made money was the one I found from a Reddit pain point thread.”

— r/indiehackers

“AI tools are recommending my competitors and I had no idea until a customer told me. That's terrifying.”

— r/marketing

“Stop asking "would you use this?" and start asking "what are you already frustrated about?"

— r/Entrepreneur

“We validated with a landing page. Got 500 emails but zero paying users. Should have checked if people pay for solutions, not just complain.”

— r/SaaS

“The graveyard of failed startups is full of solutions looking for problems. Find the problem first.”

— r/startups

“Wasted an entire year because I fell in love with my idea instead of falling in love with the problem.”

— r/Entrepreneur

“If I could go back, I'd spend the first month just reading Reddit threads in my niche. Would have saved me $30k.”

— r/smallbusiness

“My co-founder and I disagreed on the target market. Reddit data would have settled the debate in an hour.

— r/startups

“Just discovered my competitor is getting mentioned by ChatGPT for searches in my niche. I'm nowhere. How do I even fix that?”

— r/marketing

“Customer discovery calls are great but people tell you what you want to hear. Anonymous Reddit rants are the real feedback.”

— r/indiehackers

“Every pivot we made was because we finally listened to the market instead of our assumptions.”

— r/SaaS

“I don't need another AI idea generator. I need something that tells me which ideas are actually worth building.”

— r/Entrepreneur

“Spent 6 months building a feature our users never asked for. Meanwhile the #1 complaint in our subreddit went ignored.”

Here's the problem with most product ideas:

You have an idea. It feels strong. You talk to a few people — they seem interested. You build for six months. Then almost nobody buys it.

Not because you're a bad founder. Because the signal you built on was wrong. Friends said "yes" to be polite. Surveys lied. Gut instinct filled in the gaps. That's 6 months and $20,000+ gone — on an idea nobody validated.

Meanwhile, the actual answer — what your market is desperate for, what they'll pay to fix, how intense the pain really is — was sitting in thousands of Reddit conversations happening right now, completely unfiltered, completely honest.

The founders who consistently build things that sell aren't smarter. They just have better signal. They know which problems are real, which are growing, and which ideas score high enough to be worth building.

That's exactly what VentureProbe gives you. Not vibes. Not vanity metrics. Scored, ranked, actionable intelligence — so you can walk into your next build with conviction instead of hope.

GEO Intelligence — no competitor has this

Half your market asks AI tools
what to buy. Who are they finding?

Millions of people now open ChatGPT or Perplexity and ask: "What's the best tool for [your niche]?" Those AI tools don't show ads. They surface whatever brands their training data says are credible.

If they don't know your brand exists, you're invisible to half your market. And right now, you have no idea who they're recommending instead.

GEO Intelligence sends live probe queries to ChatGPT and Perplexity for your niche — returns exactly who's being recommended, how often, and what content put them there.

Zero competitors offer this.

The founders who optimize for AI recommendations in 2026 will own their niche by 2028. The ones who find out late are already behind.

How it works

From raw signal to scored idea — in 3 minutes.

1

Enter your niche

Tell us your market — "email marketing", "fitness apps", "B2B invoicing". We scan 10,000+ Reddit conversations to find what people are actually struggling with.

2

Get scored results

Every pain point and idea comes back scored on Opportunity (market signal strength) and Timing (is now the right moment?). No opinions — just data.

3

Build with confidence

Monitor whether the pain is growing. Find live threads to validate. Check if AI tools recommend competitors in your space. Build with confirmation, not hope.

Intelligence modules

Five questions. Every answer, before you commit.

🎯
What's worth solving?

Pain Point Intelligence

Enter any niche. Every significant pain your market is expressing comes back ranked by frequency and emotional intensity.

  • Pain intensity score 0–100 across your entire niche
  • Direct quotes in their own words — the language that writes your copy
  • Solution ideas surfaced per pain — what people are already wishing existed
💡
Is this worth building?

Idea Scoring & Analysis

Every idea is scored across five dimensions simultaneously. You get numbers — and a full written dossier behind every one.

  • Five scored dimensions: opportunity, problem, feasibility, timing, GTM readiness
  • Full revenue model, execution path, and risk breakdown
  • Star your top ideas and build a private scored library over time
📡
Is the pain growing?

Brand & Market Monitor

Set terms to track and watch the signal move. A spike in conversation, a shift in sentiment — you find out immediately.

  • Three alert types: volume spike, sentiment shift, viral post
  • Baseline tracking — spikes measured against your historical norm
  • AI-drafted response suggestions for viral posts
🌐

Real questions. Straight answers.

"I already validate ideas by talking to customers."

Customer interviews are good. They're also slow, prone to politeness bias, and limited to who you can reach. VentureProbe gives you hundreds of data points in minutes — from people who had no idea they were being studied.

"How is a score better than my own judgment?"

It's not a replacement — it's a filter. Scores tell you which ideas are worth spending your judgment on. Stop wasting sharp thinking on ideas that the data already tells you won't land.

"Didn't GummySearch do something like this?"

GummySearch was Reddit audience research — great, but limited. VentureProbe adds scored ideas, real-time alerts, outreach discovery, and AI mindshare tracking. It's what that category should have become.

"Won't my competitors use this too?"

Some will. The ones who don't will keep building on gut instinct. The question isn't whether to use real intelligence — it's whether you want to be ahead of the ones who do.

"What happens after the trial?"

Your plan starts billing automatically. You keep all your data, starred ideas, and monitor history. Cancel anytime from your dashboard — one click, no phone call.

"Is my data private?"

Yes. Your scans, ideas, and monitor terms are private to your account. We don't share your research with other users or use it to train models.

"How is this different from just browsing Reddit?"

Browsing Reddit gives you random threads. VentureProbe scans thousands of conversations across multiple subreddits, scores pain points by intensity, generates validated ideas, and tracks trends over time. It's the difference between reading the news and having an analyst.

"Can I use this for an existing product, not just new ideas?"

Absolutely. Brand Monitor tracks mentions of your product and competitors. Pain Point Intelligence finds unmet needs in your niche. GEO Intelligence shows if AI tools recommend you. Most teams use it for both new ideas and existing product strategy.

Greg Baskin

Founder, VentureProbe AI

“I built VentureProbe because I was tired of guessing what to build. After two failed products and $40k in lessons, I realized the answer was always sitting in Reddit — I just didn't have a way to find it fast enough.”

3 minutes, not 3 days.
Real signal. Real scores. Real confidence.

“I spent 3 months building something nobody wanted. If I had this data before I started, I would have built something completely different.”
