The Longer Story Version

The Problem

Being independent is supposed to feel free.

But then you try to get insurance as a gig worker—and it feels like you walked into a 1990s DMV with a blindfold on. Long forms, zero flexibility, sky-high premiums, and coverage that barely fits what you actually do.

Same goes for people with niche products—vintage cars, DJ gear, rare collectibles. Try calling GEICO about your custom-built espresso machine. Good luck.

Traditional insurance companies weren’t built for today. They were built for predictable 9-to-5 employees with cookie-cutter needs. That’s not you.

If you freelance, side hustle, or own anything weirdly valuable… you’re stuck choosing between overpaying or rolling the dice without protection.

The Solution

Insurance is just math + trust.

So why not rebuild it from scratch—digitally, communally, and transparently?

Here’s the move: a Peer-to-Peer insurance platform where gig workers and niche owners can self-insure with people like them.

Not everyone in the world. Just people who actually get the risk.

How it works:

• You create or join a pool: Freelancers. Collectors. Dog walkers with thousand-dollar leashes. Whatever.

• Everyone chips in monthly. Way cheaper than traditional insurance.

• If someone in the pool has a legit claim, smart contracts release the funds—fast.

• No arguing with adjusters who don’t understand your job or gear.

It’s like a digital safety net with people who get you.

How We’d Build It

✅ Chain Layer: Use Arbitrum or Avalanche for fast, cheap smart contract execution. Insurance doesn’t need Ethereum gas fees.
✅ Underwriting Model: Use open-source actuarial tools or partner with Nimble’s risk APIs to model pool thresholds.
✅ Claims + Trust: Use Kleros for decentralized claim dispute resolution (basically on-chain court with actual jurors).
✅ Frontend: Build the MVP with TinaCMS for a fast, editable Web3-enabled site or Typedream if you're in a rush.
✅ Community Layer: Enable pool forums or trust scores so trust isn’t just transactional—it’s social.

Why It Needs to Exist

Because we’re done buying 20th-century insurance in a 21st-century world.

This is not for everyone.

It’s for the self-employed, the side-hustlers, the niche nerds, and the indie hackers. People who need flexibility, speed, and fairness—not bloated paperwork and clueless adjusters.

If you’ve ever felt like traditional insurance treats you like a rounding error—this is your alternative.

It’s community-backed. Transparent. And just smart enough to not be stupid.

Let the big guys keep selling overpriced peace of mind.

You? You can build your own.

Build for the Underserved

Let’s talk about an underrated startup superpower:
Solving problems no one else wants to touch.

The instinct most people have when brainstorming ideas is to chase what’s hot. AI, crypto, dating apps—but louder.
That works… sometimes.

But there’s another path:
Find a group of people quietly duct-taping solutions together just to get through their week.
That’s your opportunity.

These aren’t always glamorous markets. But they’re real, and they often have no one building for them.

How to Think About It:

Ask yourself these:

• Who’s working in broken systems with no support?

• Who’s using tools that were never designed for them?

• Who’s being ignored because they don’t fit a traditional mold?

These people are underserved. Not because they don’t matter—but because they’re hard to serve with one-size-fits-all products.

You’re not looking for massive TAMs or hockey stick growth charts.
You’re looking for:
👉 Frustration
👉 Workarounds
👉 Forums full of “how the hell do I…?”

Where to Find Underserved Niches:

🛠 Reddit & Facebook Groups
Go to niche communities and look for pain.
Examples: r/freelance, r/tax, niche FB groups like “Vintage Car Collectors” or “Hair Stylists Who Do Mobile Appointments”

📉 Craigslist Jobs / Services
Weird one—but scroll through here and you’ll see people hacking together mini-businesses with zero infrastructure.

📬 YouTube Comments & TikTok Replies
Creators post tutorials like “How I Made $1,000 from XYZ.”
Look at the comments. That’s where people say what’s not working.

🧵 Twitter Threads
Search for “freelancer problems” or “how do I write this off” or “side hustle tax tips.”
You’ll see real questions. Turn the answers into products.

Idea Starters From This Approach

Just to show you what this can look like:

• Tax Help for Weird Income → Side hustlers, tipped workers, creators. Everyone's winging it.

• Scheduling for Mobile Workers → Hair stylists, dog groomers, food trucks. Calendly doesn’t cut it.

• Insurance Pools for Niche Collectors → Yep, we talked about this. Because insuring a $20K sneaker collection is a pain.

• Home Services CRM → Cleaners, handymen, and painters still running everything through text.

• "Legal Zoom" for Not-Quite-Businesses → Event hosts, pop-up shop runners, underground food creators. They don’t need an LLC, but they need something.

You don’t have to invent something completely new.
You just need to show up where no one else is willing to build.
