Join us for an engaging conversation with Dani Grant, Co-Founder and CEO of Jam.Dev, as we explore a wide range of startup ideas and business opportunities

1) K-pop style factories for unicorn startup hires
• Target: Specialized roles like first growth marketer or dev evangelist
• Idea: Train people specifically for these high-demand positions
• Monetization: Startups pay premium for ready-to-go talent
• Key insight: Flips coding bootcamp model on its head

2) Bounty program for dev evangelism
• Pre-hire solution for startups
• Deliverables: Docs, tutorials, starter repos, videos
• Workers: Junior devs worldwide
• Edge over Fiverr: Higher quality bar, specialized reviews

3) Let millennials invest in VC funds
• Create a shadow LP for public access to top VC funds
• Target: 25-year-olds wanting to invest $100 in A16Z’s fund
• Caveat: Likely won't work due to VC resistance
• Food for thought: What else do millennials want to invest in?

4) "So Far Sounds" for X
• Inspired by SoFar Sounds' successful model
• Format: 3 short talks (comedy, science, etc.) in 60 mins
• Key: High-quality, curated experiences
• Insight: Events industry ripe for innovation

5) Dani’s advice for startup founders
• Choose an idea you'll love for 10-20 years
• Ensure it's fascinating enough to discuss constantly
• Have a rough idea of the "idea maze" ahead
• Consider how the business type will shape your lifestyle
• Bonus insight: "Moats are dead. Brand is the only moat."
