One way to find out if it is a business problem worth solving is to ask people to pay for it before it is built. If people will, then it is worth money once the check clears. If they won't pay, then it might still be, but probably isn't because it does not directly address a serious pain point.

Good luck.

Agree. One of the thoughts that i had was:: even if they say they will pay for it.. would they actually do it when the time comes. I find that a lot of people will say "yes" just to give you a quick answer and call it a day. But thanks nonetheless. Cheers!
