About the product
Unmet Needs is an online platform created by Virock with a simple but powerful mission: to connect people who have real problems and unmet desires with builders, creators, and innovators who can provide solutions. In today’s world, many people carry around small frustrations, inefficiencies, or big ambitious ideas for products and services that don’t yet exist. Sometimes these ideas remain unspoken because individuals don’t know who to tell, how to build them, or whether anyone else even cares. At the same time, developers, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers are constantly searching for inspiration—trying to figure out what to create that will actually matter to people. Unmet Needs bridges that gap. The platform works like a public exchange of unmet desires. A user can post a need—a product they wish existed, a problem they face in their daily life, or a service they believe would make things easier. These needs are then visible to the entire community. Other visitors can browse through them, upvote the ones they resonate with, or add their own perspectives. Over time, this creates a living database of human frustrations and aspirations, a pulse check on what people truly want. For builders—whether independent developers, startup founders, or even established companies—Unmet Needs is more than just a list of complaints. It’s a source of validated demand. If multiple people are voicing the same pain point, that’s evidence of a market. If a need gets a significant number of upvotes, that shows there’s real interest, and someone who builds a solution will likely find an audience willing to adopt it. In this way, the platform reduces the guesswork and risk of building in isolation. Instead of creating something in the dark and hoping it sticks, innovators can build with confidence, knowing their product directly answers an expressed need. What makes Unmet Needs stand out is its community-driven model. It’s not a top-down marketplace where a company dictates what should be built. Instead, it empowers ordinary people to voice their concerns and gives makers a direct line into those conversations. Over time, this could foster unique collaborations: a problem-poster might end up working with a developer, or a small team of entrepreneurs might use a cluster of similar needs as the foundation for their next startup. Beyond just posting and browsing, Unmet Needs also fosters transparency and accountability. Because every idea is out in the open, there’s no gatekeeping—anyone can see the raw demand and choose whether to act on it. This openness has the potential to spark innovation across multiple industries: from tech to consumer products, education, healthcare, and beyond.
