Hi Everyone, I have launched a curated weekly email. A resource for entrepreneurs and potential startup founders, to help ideate. It is an email that focuses on real problems people face, to help entrepreneurs form startup ideas around these problems. I want to help bring these problems to the surface, and assist want to be entrepreneurs come up with there problem solving products. I will be curating this list personally through online ethnographic research and interviewing people. I will be following methodologies used for user research from my time working as a UX designer. You can view the page for the list here: http://www.spencer-walden.com/canyousolveit/ The first edition is live and can be viewed on the site. The second goes out Monday.

Note: I am not asking people to submit ideas, and nor is this a list of problems/ideas that come directly from me. My focus is on bringing real problems in front of other entrepreneurs, through interviews and research practices I have learnt as a UX designer, and sharing my research via this email list.

Hi Guys,

I want to leave my job and focus on my startup, however I need some income. Is it possible to get 2-3 days worth of income as a web designer and developer on sites like freelancer.com? They seem filled with indian development companies charging almost nothing?

I have been trying to create tools to help designers and coders work on their side projects (particularly ones who work full time) with the goal of assisting people to keep on track who want to launch products in their spare time. What I really need to understand is what motivates you?
