Are you looking to start a business but don’t know where to begin?
I’m the VP of Business Operations at Intro, a marketplace connecting people to entrepreneurs. I’ve chatted with some of the world’s most successful founders (like Alexis Ohanian at Reddit and Spencer Rascoff at Zillow), and I distilled my top 5 tips about generating the right business idea.
If you want personalized help and advice, you can book one-on-one video calls with these founders and many more at Intro.

“The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It’s to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself.” – Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator
Nick Huzar founded OfferUp because he was having a kid and had no room in his house. He needed to sell stuff.
David Greenfeld founded DreamPops because he loved sweets and became lactose intolerant.
