Dream Lab

Dream Lab is an open invitation inside Business Backwards to submit a worthy problem you see in the world. Talya personally reads every submission.

Why it exists

To surface worthwhile problems and decide whether to research them, build something, or connect them with a founder.

Who it's for

People with ideas, founders seeking collaborators and founders needing help.

The solution

A structured intake form plus a personal conversation pathway.

What exists today

  • Problem form: name, email, phone/WhatsApp, founder context, the problem and optional audience
  • An anonymous option that still allows a reply
  • Voice-note contact
  • A WhatsApp group is described as coming soon

Notable decisions

Low-polish and personal on purpose: the review process is explained plainly instead of promising automatic matching.
