Submit a problem

You know the problem.
We build the product.

Registered EU companies describe a real, repeatable business problem. If it can become an independent product for a wider market, NikaliSoft develops it and the selected company partner — the Founding Partner — helps bring it to the market and receives 35% of Qualifying External Net Collected Revenue for as long as the product exists.

Submit a business problemHow the model works

Submission does not create a partnership, Founding Partner status, an obligation to develop, a confidentiality relationship or any guarantee of revenue. Founding Partner status and the 35% share arise only from a separately signed agreement.

01

The model

Most useful software starts as an ordinary operational annoyance inside one company. NikaliSoft exists to take a small number of those annoyances seriously enough to build them properly, for everyone who has them.

You describe the problem

A registered EU company writes down a problem it actually lives with: what goes wrong, how it is handled today, and what it costs. No pitch deck, no idea, no concept — a working reality.

NikaliSoft may build the product

If the problem looks structural rather than local, NikaliSoft designs and develops an independent software product for it, at its own cost and own risk.

You help it reach the market

As Founding Partner you validate that the product solves the real problem and help it reach other companies that share it. In return you receive 35% of Qualifying External Net Collected Revenue for as long as the product exists — under a separately signed agreement, never automatically.

NikaliSoft is not a marketplace, an incubator, an accelerator, an agency, an idea contest, or a passive-income scheme. Nobody buys anything on this website and nobody invests anything.

02

What makes a business problem suitable

The single question behind every assessment is whether other companies would recognise the same problem in their own operations.

Strong signals

  • It repeats — daily, weekly, or on every project or case.
  • It is handled today by a manual workaround that everybody tolerates.
  • It costs measurable time, money, accuracy, or compliance risk.
  • Its cause is structural: a regulation, an industry practice, a shared kind of data or workflow.
  • You can name other companies that almost certainly have it too.

Weak signals

  • It is really a request for a bespoke internal tool.
  • It only exists because of one company's own systems or history.
  • It is an idea for an app rather than a problem being lived with.
  • It is already solved well by widely available software.
  • It cannot be described without confidential information.

03

How the 35% works

One number, defined narrowly, so that it means the same thing to everyone.

35%

of Qualifying External Net Collected Revenue from the product built out of your submitted business problem, for as long as that product exists.

Qualifying

Revenue from the specific product that was built out of your business problem — not from NikaliSoft as a whole and not from other products.

External

Revenue from third-party customers. Amounts paid by your own company or by NikaliSoft itself are excluded.

Net

After refunds, chargebacks, credits, discounts, payment-processing fees, and taxes and duties collected on behalf of authorities.

Collected

Money actually received and kept. Invoiced-but-unpaid, disputed, or reversed amounts do not count.

The exact definition, reporting rhythm and payment mechanics live in a separate written agreement, signed offline, only if and when a product is actually built. There is no payment of any kind connected to making a submission, and nothing on this website creates an entitlement to revenue.

04

From business problem to independent product

Every stage can end without the next one starting. Nothing here is a promise that it will continue.

  1. Stage 1

    Submission

    You describe the problem, the market reasoning, and what your company can contribute. The form takes real effort — that is deliberate.

  2. Stage 2

    Reading and assessment

    NikaliSoft reads every submission and looks for one thing: evidence that many companies share this problem. Most submissions stop here.

  3. Stage 3

    Conversation

    If the problem looks promising, NikaliSoft contacts you to understand it properly and to test whether the reasoning holds outside your company.

  4. Stage 4

    Written agreement

    Only if NikaliSoft decides to build does a separate written agreement get negotiated and signed offline. Nothing before this point is binding on either side.

  5. Stage 5

    Development

    NikaliSoft designs, builds, operates and funds the product, and carries the technical and commercial risk.

  6. Stage 6

    Validation and market access

    Your company helps confirm the product genuinely solves the problem and helps it reach other companies with the same problem.

  7. Stage 7

    Ongoing revenue share

    Once the product earns qualifying external net collected revenue, your 35% share is calculated and paid under the signed agreement.

05

What NikaliSoft does not build

Being explicit about this saves everybody time.

Custom software for one company

NikaliSoft does not act as a development agency and does not build internal tools to order. If only your company would ever use it, it is not a fit.

Products from ideas alone

A concept, a market gap, or an app idea is not a business problem. NikaliSoft works only from problems a company is currently living with.

Anything requiring confidential material

If the problem cannot be explained without trade secrets or personal data, it cannot be submitted here.

Products that already exist and work

If widely available software already solves the problem well, NikaliSoft will not build a second version of it.

06

Product independence

Each product is built to stand on its own, and that independence is the point.

A product created from your business problem is owned, operated and maintained by NikaliSoft. It is designed for the whole market that shares the problem, not shaped around one company's internal processes.

Submitting a problem does not give your company ownership, exclusivity, control over the product's direction, or any right to prevent competitors from using it. Your company also takes on none of the development cost or commercial risk.

This is what makes the 35% share possible: NikaliSoft can invest fully in a product precisely because that product is free to serve an entire market.

Built in practice

Products already live.

The product-first approach behind NikaliSoft is already in production. These independent SaaS products were designed and built around real operational problems — not as client projects, but as focused products intended for broader use.

No. There is no fee to submit, and NikaliSoft never asks a submitting company for money or investment at any stage.
Is my submission confidential?
No. Submissions are not treated as confidential and no non-disclosure agreement is in place. Describe the problem without confidential information, trade secrets, or personal data about customers or employees.
Will NikaliSoft definitely build my product?
No. There is no acceptance, no obligation to develop, and no guarantee of any outcome. Only a small number of submitted business problems are ever developed.
Do I get a reply to every submission?
Every submission is read. If your problem is being considered, NikaliSoft contacts you at the business email you provided. If it is not, you may not receive a reply.
Who can submit?
Only companies registered and established in an EU member state, through someone authorised to act on the company's behalf. Submissions from individuals are not accepted.
Can I upload documents, screenshots or specifications?
No. The form accepts written answers only, and no file can be attached at any point. Describe evidence in words instead.
When does the 35% actually get paid?
Only under a separate written agreement, signed offline, after a product has been built and has earned Qualifying External Net Collected Revenue. Nothing on this website creates a payment entitlement.
What happens to the data I enter?
It is stored privately by NikaliSoft so the submission can be read and assessed. It is never published on this website and is not shared publicly. The Proposal Privacy Notice describes this in full.
