Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Manual Clinical Trial Admin

Clinical research staff are overwhelmed by manual, repetitive, and poorly coordinated administrative and data tasks that lack integrated tooling.

In their words

management has asked me to build them a secure database, something the organisation genuinely owns and can build on for future studies, rather than just Excel files in SharePoint

r/Database on Reddit

how are you guys handling bulk participant consent without manually emailing hundreds of pdfs?

r/GradSchool on Reddit

we really liked Mosio but the PI wanted us to "really think if this is something that adds value" before biting the bullet on ~$1200/year

r/clinicalresearch on Reddit

all study docs will be in Spanish and our CMS doesn't offer bilingual/translation for their monitoring efforts

It was already a stretch getting parents to take a day off of work to volunteer.

r/Teachers on Reddit

a lot of the workflow behind it is still manual and fragmented

r/cofounderhunt on Reddit

Clinical trials still run on a messy mix of legacy EDC systems, PDFs, lab reports, imaging reports, safety databases, spreadsheets, vendor portals, protocol deviations, reconciliation, and query management.

r/ycombinator on Reddit

Clinical trials still run on a messy mix of legacy EDC systems, PDFs, lab reports, imaging reports, safety databases, spreadsheets, vendor portals, protocol deviations, and endless query management.

r/startup on Reddit

the bioinformatician gave us with no transparency what was actually done

r/bioinformatics on Reddit

clients have slowed regulatory review so much that the data and references literally change out from under us

r/advertising on Reddit

at our trust the process is bonkers and I'm trying to offer alternative ideas to the study leave team

r/doctorsUK on Reddit

There’s no way of excluding participants so we risk our data / products being informed by the exact same group of people.

r/prolific on Reddit

But the workflow to access drugs via clinical trial is terrible. Directions/Instructions aren't documented. Unwritten limitations and optimizations.

Hacker News

I initially started because I needed a dataset browser. I work with clinical trials, so we usually get raw data files in all possible formats

Where they talk

  • r/clinicalresearch
  • r/biotech
  • r/AmazonFC
  • r/ProjectREDCap
  • r/publichealth
  • r/research
  • r/medizin
  • r/grc

Tools they use today

  • EDC
  • CTMS
  • Excel
  • Microsoft Teams
  • REDCap
  • Advarra
  • Claude
  • SharePoint

Why those fall short

  • data checks and queries are wrong, vague or not enforced
  • re-scanning and retraining required for every new activity or group
  • urgent emails, duplicate requests, unclear timelines, no prioritization
  • no study-specific filing plan up front; generic reference model only
  • no automated check that documents are IRB approved
