It is a platform that connects people globally for 15–30 minute video ...
...calls to brainstorm, debate, or get advice on specific topics — like naming a startup or solving a business problem. It’s like “Uber for brainpower,” matching those who need fresh ideas with those who love sharing them. In a world where UK tuition and expert help are expensive, MindMeet offers an affordable, flexible way to learn and think with real humans — anytime, anywhere.
There’s barely any market activity - either because the problem is very niche or not important enough. You’ll need to prove real demand exists before investing significant time.

Your are here
MindMeet falls into the 'Minimal Signal' category, meaning it's exploring a niche where existing market activity is low. This suggests either a very specific problem or a lack of widespread demand. While the idea of connecting people for quick brainstorming sessions is intriguing, the absence of strong signals means significant validation is needed before dedicating substantial resources. The low number of similar products (n_matches=1) reinforces this assessment, indicating lower confidence in readily available market demand. Since engagement (n_comments=0) is also non existent, it's critical to first gauge the real user interest and if people would indeed be willing to engage in such a service.
Recommendations
- Begin by thoroughly validating the core problem. Instead of immediately building the platform, focus on manually connecting individuals for brainstorming sessions within your target demographic. This will provide firsthand insights into user behavior, demand, and potential challenges.
- Actively engage in online communities, forums, and social media groups where your target audience congregates. Share targeted surveys, polls, or open-ended questions to understand their needs, pain points, and willingness to participate in a platform like MindMeet. Don't just ask if they like the idea, ask if they would use and pay for it.
- Create a compelling explainer video that clearly articulates the value proposition of MindMeet. Highlight how it addresses the need for affordable expert advice and collaborative problem-solving. Track video views and engagement metrics (like watch time, comments) to gauge initial interest.
- Consider offering a limited-time, manually curated version of MindMeet, focusing on one or two specific topics. This allows you to test the matching algorithm, user experience, and overall demand without investing in a fully developed platform. Collect feedback on user satisfaction, session effectiveness, and perceived value.
- Implement a waiting list with a small, non-refundable deposit to gauge commitment and prioritize development efforts. The willingness of potential users to pay upfront is a strong indicator of genuine interest and helps validate the business model.
- If you struggle to secure at least five genuinely interested participants within a three-week timeframe, reassess the viability of the idea. This might indicate a need to pivot, refine the target audience, or explore alternative solutions.
Questions
- What are the specific challenges or pain points that MindMeet aims to solve that are not already adequately addressed by existing platforms or services?
- How will you ensure the quality and reliability of the 'brainpower' provided by experts on the platform, and what mechanisms will be in place to handle disputes or dissatisfaction?
- Given the potential for similar platforms to emerge, what is your unique selling proposition and how will you create a sustainable competitive advantage?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.
The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments.
The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category.
The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
