About
Hi, I'm Ayush. I built IdeaBank because good startup ideas get posted on X every day and then vanish in the feed. This is my bank for keeping them in one place so they're easy to find, search and come back to.
You can find me on X at @inventor011. A few of my own ideas are in here too.
Where the ideas come from
Every idea is a real public post, linked back to the original. The ideas belong to the people who shared them. I only collect, categorise and link.
- Paras Chopra (@paraschopra), whose "Steal this idea" posts started all this
- Greg Isenberg (@gregisenberg)
- Idea Browser (@ideabrowser), plus the free Idea of the Day archive on ideabrowser.com (titles link to their pages; the short summaries are mine)
- shirish (@shiri_shh)
- The Startup Ideas Podcast (@startupideaspod)
- Ashish (@reflect_ion)
- jaimin (@jaimintf)
- Bifurcation AI (@BifurcationAI)
- Manu Awasthi (@mnwsth)
- Inventor (@inventor011), that's me
How it's organised
Each idea gets a short title and one category. When the same idea shows up more than once, only the earliest post is kept, and the later ones are listed under "Similar ideas" inside it.
Long-game picks are the few ideas that pass three tests: they can last for years, they can keep making money (recurring revenue), and they'd still hold up if anyone had unlimited AI tokens tomorrow, because their edge is distribution, data, network effects, physical operations, trust or regulation, not just software.
Add your idea
Got an idea worth stealing? Use Submit idea at the top of any page. You can send it to me by email (anonymously or with your email) or as an X DM to @inventor011. I read every one, and the good ones get added here.
Ideas were collected in October 2026. Like counts are a snapshot from that time. If you shared one of these and want it removed, just reply to me on X.
