15-Year-Old Has Earned $23K+ From His Complaints Database

Om Patel launched BigIdeasDB in late 2024, aged 14, after eight flops in a row.

It’s a database of real problems people are complaining about online – the kind founders can build a business on.

Now he’s 15 and it’s past $23,000 in lifetime revenue. Best month: $4,600 🤑

Om’s scrapers pull from Reddit, G2 reviews, app stores, and Upwork job posts. AI clusters the whining into ~10,000 validated problems.

The pitch…

Stop building products based on what you think is cool and start looking for problems people are actively complaining about.

Om knows that pain firsthand 👇

I kept solving problems nobody cared about. I’d build for months… then launch to silence.

Now 160+ founders pay him $45/month for access. No free trial, no ads, no funding – all growth came from daily build-in-public posts on X and Reddit.

Run Om’s playbook in a tighter niche – Shopify 1-star reviews, fitness app gripes, dental forum rants – and sell the filtered list to founders in that space 😎
