SMBs (plumbers, lawyers) have paid problems nobody has mapped
Reddit · r/Entrepreneurmixed2026-10-15
Pain point
Top advice is "go find what boring SMBs pay for" — but doing that takes 2-3 months of lurking in forums. The research itself is the bottleneck.
Signal
Post 116, top substantive comment 90 (highest-voted non-joke). One thread, but high conviction.
Opportunity
A vertical-pain-mining service: continuously scrape trade subreddits/Facebook groups/forums per industry and sell "unmet need reports" per vertical ($99) or a subscription feed. Quick to build — essentially this exact analysis, productized.
