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.

IdeaBank has three parts. Ideas is a free list of startup ideas from X and other sites, each linked to the person who shared it. Stories are short, sourced profiles of founders and scientists. News is what happened in AI today, yesterday, this week and last week, in India time.

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. Sources include Paras Chopra, whose "Steal this idea" posts started all this, Greg Isenberg, Idea Browser and its Idea of the Day archive, The Startup Ideas Podcast and other builders on X, plus a few posts from Reddit and Hacker News.

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" on its page.

Curated puts long-game picks first, then each author's stand-out posts, then the rest. Latest is newest first. Trending ranks likes, reposts and replies, weighted toward recent posts. Long-game shows only the long-game picks.

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 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.

+ Submit idea

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.
