Questions, answered.
What you get, how the research works and what to expect from membership.
What is IdeasVault?
IdeasVault is a business-opportunity research platform. It brings together source-linked findings, calculated scores, risks and practical first steps, with a private workspace to organize your decisions.
Is this only for software startups?
No. The product supports local and professional services, physical products, equipment rental, education, marketplaces and software. The library shows the business models currently represented by published reports.
Are the ideas guaranteed to work?
No. Evidence supports investigation, not a guarantee. Reports identify uncertainty and a counter-case. You still need customer interviews, local cost checks and practical validation before investing significant time or capital.
How are AI and human review used?
AI assists research and writing, with editorial review before publication. Reports help you consider the supporting evidence, the counter-case and the questions that still need practical validation. Our research guide explains how to use those findings in your own decision.
What can I do for free?
Browse public report previews and the library. Create an account to save ideas, keep private notes and track progress. Community participation, when enabled, is opt-in and subject to verified email and request limits. Full report access follows your paid plan.
How much is founding membership?
USD $249 per year, billed annually, excluding applicable tax. That is equivalent to $20.75 per month. Continuously active founding memberships retain the $249 annual rate. The planned $399 annual standard price is for later customers.
Which benefits are included?
The founding offer includes full published reports, founder-fit ranking, five active alert rules and ten new execution handoffs per calendar month. Cached artifacts and execution exports are included without another generation. There is no free trial.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Cancel renewal through Account billing. You normally keep access through the paid period. Email support within seven calendar days of your first subscription payment to request a full refund. Renewals and later requests are reviewed for billing/access problems and applicable legal rights.
Is my founder profile public?
No. Your notes and founder-fit preferences are private. Community uses a separate profile that you deliberately opt to share. Email addresses are shared with another member only after a mutual introduction is accepted.
Do you have a direct Claude or Gemini integration?
You can download a structured execution brief for use in Claude Code, Gemini or other tools. This is an export, not an installed agent connector. Third-party tools have their own access and pricing.
Why are some sections unavailable?
Report depth follows the available evidence. Thin evidence may support an early signal rather than a full market study. Some sections also require membership. Missing provider configuration can temporarily prevent new generation without changing existing research.
How do I report an error or ask for help?
Email support@ideasvault.app with the report URL, account email or relevant order reference. For privacy or source-removal requests, include enough information for us to identify the material. Never send passwords or authentication codes.
