Rare Idea Hunting (Market Gap Intelligence)

Finding a truly valuable invention idea is never about random sparks of creativity—it requires a structured, data-driven process. That’s why the 28-hour Invention Bootcamp includes a powerful module called Market Gap Intelligence, where participants learn how to systematically uncover rare opportunities and turn them into actionable ideas.

This module is built on three advanced practices:

1. Advanced Gap Mining

Students use real-world tools such as Google Trends and global patent databases to identify unmet needs and hidden opportunities. Instead of guessing, they analyze actual market data to see what problems remain unsolved. For example, while countless patents exist for health apps, almost no solutions address data integration for small clinics in developing regions—a gap with huge potential.

2. Reverse Innovation

Not every invention needs to start from scratch. By studying successful products in advanced markets and redesigning them for local or regional use, students learn how to adapt proven concepts into new opportunities. A device built for hospitals in the U.S., for instance, can be simplified and reimagined for affordable use in smaller clinics elsewhere.

3. AI-Powered Ideation

Through specialized prompt engineering, participants explore 10 unique AI prompts designed to generate patentable, commercially viable ideas. These prompts help uncover cross-industry innovations and inspire new directions using expired patents, positioning AI as a true innovation partner.

By the end of this section, every participant holds a portfolio of rare, validated, and data-backed ideas—not vague concepts, but real opportunities ready to be developed into prototypes and brought to market. Market Gap Intelligence is what makes this bootcamp truly unique: teaching students to spot opportunities with the precision of a researcher and the foresight of an entrepreneur.
