World Solve — A living repository of problems worth solving.

What World Solve is

World Solve is a living, citable index of unsolved problems — written one line at a time by Team Humans Club, a global collective of builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs. We do not solve the problems here. We Democratize Innovation.

For builders Skip the search for a problem worth your time. Browse a vetted, growing list and start where the gap is real.

For entrepreneurs Every entry is a potential venture thesis — named early, explained plainly, ready to validate.

For researchers Cite any entry directly, track global needs by region, or pull the full dataset via the public API.

We haven't found a way to make prisons rehabilitate people instead of just punishing them.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Many prison systems focus on punishment over rehabilitation, and high reoffending rates suggest this approach often fails at its stated goal. A system genuinely built around rehabilitation could reduce crime and human cost.

We can't stop wealth and power from concentrating faster than laws can adapt.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Economic and political power increasingly concentrates in fewer hands, while regulation struggles to keep pace with how quickly this happens. Left unchecked, this threatens both economic fairness and democratic balance.

We don't have a reliable way to measure whether government policies actually work before rolling them out nationally.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Many large-scale policies are implemented based on assumptions rather than solid evidence, and by the time results come in, the damage or waste is already done. Better testing methods could save enormous public resources.

We haven't solved how to reduce corruption in institutions meant to prevent it.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Anti-corruption agencies themselves can become corrupted, and oversight bodies often lack real power to enforce accountability. Breaking this cycle requires structural solutions, not just stricter laws on paper.

We can't agree on how to regulate AI across countries with different laws and values.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

AI systems built in one country are used worldwide, but there's no shared international rulebook governing how they should behave. Without cooperation, regulation ends up fragmented and easy to bypass.

We don't have a fair global system for handling refugees and asylum seekers.

We haven't found a way to make mental health care as accessible as physical health care.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Getting a broken bone fixed is usually straightforward; getting consistent mental health support often isn't, due to cost, stigma, and shortage of providers. Closing this gap could prevent enormous, often invisible suffering.
