Idea Exchange is a platform for people who have trouble finding ideas for their side projects or are finding a buisness problem to solve and build their startup. Alternatively, people can post their ideas/problem statements and let other users to interact with the idea in form of comments, upvotes, downvotes and if they would like to pay for the product around that problem/idea statement.
