I’m joined by Jason Fried, Co-founder and CEO of 37signals, as we deep dive on innovative startup ideas, our frameworks to building products people love, and our thoughts on the current software landscape.
1) The "Scratch-off Ad" app idea:

"There's some sort of deeper universal things to tap into here." - Jason4) The power of limitations in software:

Creates scarcity & increases perceived value5) Hobbyist ethos missing in modern software:
• Early internet had more quirky, fun projects

Challenge: How can we make the internet weird again?6) Cozy software movement:
• Make apps feel warm, comfortable

In this episode, we dive deep into uncovering validated startup ideas by leveraging anti-trends on Pinterest and Google Trends. I'll walk you through my workflow, showing you exactly how to use these tools to spot emerging trends, identify key problems and solutions, and find creators and websites thriving in these niches. If you're looking for a fresh approach to finding your next big startup idea, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss!
1) What are anti-trends and how to spot them
• Anti-trends = opposite of what's hot right now
• Example: "AI-free" products when EVERYONE is jumping on the AI bandwagon
• Why it works: Creates a unique moat + appeals to overlooked market segments
• How to spot anti-trends: Real-world observations, Social media chatter, Consumer studies (e.g. recent study shows AI mentions LOWER purchase intent)
• Pro tip: Always be on the lookout for what's NOT being talked about2) Tool: Pinterest deep dive:
• Shows monthly/weekly changes
• Reveals related trends
• Displays popular pins
• Example: "Slow living" trend analysis gives insights into minimalism, cozy bedrooms, etc.3) Tool: Google Trends + Glimpse hack:
• 5-year view of trend growth
• Related trends
• Social platform activity
• Topic maps
• Pro tip: Look for steady, sustainable growth rather than spikes4) Competitive research workflow:
1. Use Claude AI to list top creators/websites in your niche
2. Analyze their traffic/backlinks with Ahrefs

• What products/services can I create for this anti-trend?
• Where's the audience hanging out?
• Any low-hanging fruit in terms of SEO?
• Which geographic markets are underserved?6) Remember: Anti-trends are about serving overlooked markets
• There's often less competition and more passionate audiences in these niches

I’m joined by Tibo Louis-Lucas , Founder of Revid.AI, as we explore a wide range of Creator tool ideas and business opportunities
1) Brand & Influencer Matching 2.0
• Passionfruit's success shows there's still room for innovation.
• Idea: Flip the model. Create a "link tree" for brands, not creators.
• Use AI to curate & rank inbound creator applications.
• Brands save time, creators find opps. Win-win.2) Framework: Mini-Tools Strategy for Growth
• Build small, useful tools related to your core product.
• Example: Taplio's LinkedIn video downloader drove 1M+ monthly visitors.
• Key insight: The simplest ideas often outperform complex ones.
• Let users try core features without signing up. Genius!3) SEO Isn't Dead (Despite ChatGPT)
• Action-based queries (e.g., "compress video") will still drive Google traffic.
• Double down on building useful web tools.
• They'll likely remain relevant even as AI search evolves.4) Content strategy: Humans + AI is the future
• Don't rely 100% on AI for content creation
• Combine AI assistance with genuine human experiences.
• Story-driven content will always stand out.
• Bonus Insight: Anti-positioning is underrated.5) "Certified No AI" Product Suite
• As AI-generated content floods the market, there's opportunity in the opposite direction.
• Idea: Build a suite of "certified no AI" tools for content creation.
• Position as the authentic, human-centric alternative.
• Tap into growing AI fatigue.Want more free ideas? I collect the best ideas from the pod and give them to you for free in a database. Most of them cost $0 to start (my fav)
