GapBase — The Business Gaps Database for Builders
What it is:
A research-backed database of 520+ validated business gaps across 7 professional industries. Each gap is sourced from real forums, communities, and industry reports with proof of demand, not guesswork. Think of it as a search engine for "what should I build next?"
Why we built it:
Working on real world projects as a freelancer gave me an insight into what kind of problems professionals and business owners value most for which they are also ready to pay. AI tools made building software trivially easy. Every developer can ship an app in a weekend now. But 95% of those apps die with zero users not because the tech was bad, but because nobody needed it. The bottleneck moved from building to finding a problem worth solving. We got tired of watching talented builders waste months on ideas nobody asked for, so we started cataloguing the gaps people were already screaming about.
How it helps:
Instead of guessing what to build and hoping someone pays, you start with a validated gap a real problem with real people asking for a solution. Every entry includes the source, the community it came from, the industry, and the demand signal. Stop building in the dark.
