The Eureka Database

The Eureka Database

A library of startup ideas, each one weighed against businesses already making money.

How to evaluate an idea

These are starting points, not verdicts. A ranked list can feel like pressure. The best idea for you is the one that survives your own honest read:

  • Conviction. Would you use this, or wish it existed? Belief is what carries you through the hard middle.
  • Capability. Can you realistically build and sell it with your skills, time, and resources? Lean on your unfair advantages.
  • Intention. Why this, why you, why now? The right idea fits the life and pace of business you actually want.
  • Proof, not promise. The evidence here is a head start, not a guarantee. Talk to a few real users before you commit.
