Tell me what to build next

Every Monday I pick one idea and build it into a real online business by Friday. Some weeks that idea could be yours. If it is small, real, and shippable in a week, pitch it below. If it ships, you get the credit, publicly.

What makes a good pitch

Small scopeOne clear job for one clear type of person. Not a platform.
Real problemSomething people actually deal with, ideally something you deal with.
Shippable in a weekOne person, AI tools, five days. If it needs a team, it will not get picked.

The pitch

Plain words beat a business plan. "A tool that does X for Y people" is the perfect shape.

Optional. "No idea" is an honest answer, that part can be figured out.

No account, no spam. Your email is only used to tell you if your idea ships.

How this works

What happens after I submit an idea?

Every submission gets read. Ideas are picked on Mondays, when the week's build gets chosen. If yours is picked, it gets built and launched that week and the results get published like every other build, real numbers and all.

Do I get anything if my idea gets built?

Credit, publicly. The build page and the newsletter will name you as the person who pitched it, with a link if you want one. To be straight with you up front: the build itself stays a SideRoad build. You are pitching an idea, not entering a partnership, and I would rather say that clearly here than have it be awkward later.

What makes an idea likely to get picked?

Small scope, a real problem, and shippable in a week by one person with AI. One clear job for one clear type of person beats a grand platform every time. Ideas that need a team, funding, or months of work will not get picked, no matter how good they are.
