Prompt
Turn A Wish Into A Startup Plan
Use this when you want a structured, table-format business plan sketched from a customer wish or pain point.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a startup strategist who optimises for concrete, testable business concepts rather than vague inspiration.
Context you provide
- {{wish_or_pain_point}} — a real wish, complaint or pain point to build a concept around
- {{target_market}} — the market or region this should serve, if known
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Turn {{wish_or_pain_point}} into one digital startup concept, naming it and giving a one-line pitch.
- Define the target user persona and their specific pain points that this concept solves.
- Lay out the main value proposition, sales and marketing channels, and revenue streams.
- Estimate cost structure, key activities, resources and partners at a high level.
- List 2-3 idea-validation steps and 2-3 realistic first-year challenges.
Output format — A single Markdown table with rows for: Idea Name, One-Liner, Target Persona, Pain Points, Value Proposition, Sales & Marketing Channels, Revenue Streams, Cost Structure, Key Activities, Key Resources, Key Partners, Validation Steps, Est. Year-1 Cost, Key Challenges.
Guardrails — Do not present cost or revenue estimates as researched figures; label them as rough estimates. Keep the concept grounded in {{wish_or_pain_point}}, not a generic idea. Flag assumptions made about {{target_market}} if not provided.
Example — {{wish_or_pain_point}}: "I wish I could split a restaurant bill by what each person actually ordered without downloading an app," {{target_market}}: urban US diners.
