> where I'd like to do something that will help me generate ideas

Get out and talk to people. If B2C interests you, buy people a coffee and listen. If B2B interests you, show up with a box of donuts and listen.

There's no shortage of ideas. There is a "shortage" of two things:

1) Products / services the market needs

2) Successful execution on those

But just ideas? Those aren't the bottleneck.

Given #2 you can also do post-mortems of other start-ups that shuttered and look for "good idea, poor execution" or maybe also it was a product (or service) ahead of its time (and the market didn't get it. Yet?).
