Startup Idea: Using AI to talk to the dead ft. Kevin Rose [CLIP]

"## 1. BUSINESS IDEA - Interviewing People That Have Passed Away

[YouTube Link:

This business idea revolves around using AI technology to interview people who are no longer alive. The speaker envisions training AI models on large datasets of audio recordings, writings, and videos of deceased individuals, such as Alan Watts or Albert Einstein. These AI models could then engage in real-time conversations, simulating the thought processes and communication styles of the deceased. The speaker acknowledges that while the AI would inevitably \"fill in the gaps\" in its knowledge, a sufficiently large dataset could lead to surprisingly accurate simulations. This idea could extend to loved ones, allowing people to have conversations with deceased relatives or friends, assuming enough data is available. The speaker recognizes the potential ethical concerns and emotional impact of such a technology but believes it\'s a fascinating concept with significant business potential. He points out that even smaller-scale applications, like recreating a loved one\'s voice for simple greetings, would hold immense value for many people.

## 2. BUSINESS IDEA - Preserving Family History Through Video & AI

[YouTube Link:

This business idea focuses on combining existing video footage with AI technology to create a more immersive and interactive experience of connecting with deceased loved ones. The conversation stems from the powerful emotional impact of seeing family members in old videos. The speaker observes that even if limited video footage exists, individuals could use snippets of their loved one\'s voice recordings and characteristic phrases to train an AI model, which could then interact conversationally. This idea goes beyond simply watching old videos; it aims to create a personalized AI experience that captures the essence of the deceased person, allowing for a deeper connection and preservation of family history. The speaker believes this concept has significant market potential and is confident people would pay a premium for such a service. He concludes by enthusiastically proclaiming, \"Sing time baby,\" implying that this business idea is ripe for development and implementation.

Business Idea: Quickbooks App Studio

"## 1. BUSINESS IDEA - QuickBooks Integrations

[YouTube Link:

This business idea revolves around capitalizing on the lack of integrations for QuickBooks, a popular accounting software. There\'s a significant demand for connecting QuickBooks with other tools, evidenced by the 4,000 keywords related to \"QuickBooks Integrations.\" The business model involves creating simple API integrations that move data between QuickBooks and other platforms. The founder estimates this could be a $30 million per year company based on the massive QuickBooks user base and limited competition within their app store. The marketing strategy focuses on SEO and SEM to capture the high search volume for these integrations.

Startup Ideas Brainstorm #5

"## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Beer Me Hoodie**

[YouTube Link:

Mason pitches his idea for a hoodie called \"Beer Me\" which features a built-in cup holder designed to securely hold a beer can or bottle. He envisions this as a fun and functional product for college students, dads, and tailgating events. The idea is to create a campus collection with different colorways representing various universities. He hopes to eventually sell the brand to an established company like Barstool Sports for a significant payout. Greg, however, \"spits\" the idea in its current form, expressing concerns about the challenges of physical products and suggesting that Mason focus on more scalable, cash-flowing internet startups. He does, however, acknowledge the growing trend of IRL experiences and communities, suggesting that incorporating these elements could elevate the idea. Greg encourages Mason to develop a multi-product approach, potentially including trucker hats or other merchandise, to increase repeat purchases and create a community around the brand. He also emphasizes the importance of networking with key decision-makers in potential acquiring companies to increase the likelihood of a successful sale in the future.

## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. You\'re Totally Right.com**

[YouTube Link:

Sam proposes an online platform called \"Rant On Me\" which would provide a safe space for people to express their frustrations and anger without judgment. He envisions a service where individuals can connect with listeners who will simply listen without offering advice or therapeutic interventions, much like a digital version of a \"rage room.\" Greg \"sips\" this idea, recognizing the increasing levels of anger and frustration in society, as validated by the rise of physical rage rooms. He suggests a name change to \"You\'re Totally Right.com\" and envisions a progression from human listeners to AI-assisted humans, and finally, fully automated AI agents. He encourages Sam to explore viral marketing strategies, emphasizing the potential for gifting \"rant sessions\" as a unique way to promote the service. Greg also highlights the opportunity to eventually incorporate community events and elements to foster a sense of belonging among users.

## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Really Good**

[YouTube Link:

Jason, the founder of \"Really Good\", pitches his service that connects companies with the best service providers, including agencies and freelancers, based on data-driven analysis. He emphasizes his company\'s focus on quality, fit, and trust as key metrics for matching companies with the right providers. Greg is initially unimpressed with Jason\'s pitch but quickly becomes intrigued after seeing the polished website. He points out the existing competition in the market, particularly from companies like Pineapple List, and suggests that Jason niche down further by focusing on specific industries like SaaS, crypto, or AI. They discuss various growth strategies, including partnering with existing talent networks, leveraging venture capitalists as a channel, and creating lead magnets targeted at specific niches. Cody Schneider, who joins the conversation, emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear value proposition and generating immediate cash flow by offering productized services. Jason struggles to articulate a concise and impactful value proposition, and the discussion ultimately centers on the challenges of agency work and the need for a focused approach to growth and monetization.

## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 4. The Dementia Manifesto**

[YouTube Link:

Harvey presents his website, \"The Dementia Manifesto\", which aims to raise awareness and provide resources for caregivers of individuals with dementia. He plans to offer downloadable reports highlighting the lack of government funding and support for dementia care, while also building an email list and establishing community forums for caregivers. He envisions multiple monetization avenues, including affiliate marketing for dementia-related products, licensing resources from universities and dementia centers, offering paid memberships with enhanced resources, and connecting caregivers with a panel of experts. Greg commends Harvey\'s mission and acknowledges the potential of his platform, suggesting that PR and podcast appearances would be effective strategies to build an audience and credibility. They discuss the abundance of keywords and content opportunities related to dementia care, including informational articles, product reviews, and even a potential book deal. Cody highlights the significant demand for dementia-related products and the opportunity for a focused e-commerce play. The conversation explores the importance of building trust within the community, leveraging existing expertise, and developing sustainable monetization strategies while also maximizing reach through social media and digital PR.

## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 5. San Diego Tourism**

[YouTube Link:

Alex shares his observation that San Diego, despite having 30 million annual visitors and generating billions in tourism revenue, lacks a central authority for curated recommendations. He sees an opportunity to capitalize on the high search volume for \"things to do in San Diego\" and suggests building a platform, potentially a newsletter or blog, that packages information and caters to both tourists and locals. Greg, however, expresses skepticism, pointing to the fierce competition in the tourism industry and the difficulty of ranking for highly competitive keywords. He recommends focusing on a different primary business while pursuing the San Diego tourism idea as a side project, suggesting a local TikTok channel coupled with a newsletter as a potential starting point. Cody proposes an agency model that caters to tourism-related businesses on Airbnb Experiences, offering Facebook ad management and lead generation services targeted specifically at tourists visiting the area. They further brainstorm a digital ebook promoting \"20 things to do in San Diego\" as a lead magnet for an email newsletter, eventually monetized through sponsorship deals with the San Diego Tourism Association. The discussion emphasizes the importance of finding a unique angle within a competitive market and leveraging existing platforms like Facebook ads and Airbnb Experiences to reach the target audience.

## **-BUSINESS IDEA- 6. MrBeast Views.com**

[YouTube Link:

Greg brings up MrBeast\'s recent launch of Views.com, a competitive analysis software for YouTube. They analyze the platform\'s impressive traffic growth in its first month and discuss the strategic implications for MrBeast, suggesting that it positions him as a central figure within the YouTube creator community and opens doors for collaborations and future software ventures. Cody points out the similarity to Social Blade, a pre-existing influencer analytics platform, but acknowledges the potential for MrBeast to disrupt the market by leveraging his brand recognition and audience reach. They envision expanding the platform to encompass other platforms like Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram, potentially selling access to agencies and marketing associations as a subscription service. The conversation highlights the increasing power of owning distribution channels and the potential for successful entrepreneurs to quickly launch and scale businesses within existing ecosystems like YouTube.

## **-BUSINESS LEARNINGS**

[YouTube Link:

Greg discusses the importance of networking with key decision-makers in potential acquiring companies. He introduces the \"law of 21,\" which involves identifying the seven most likely acquirers, multiplying that by three key decision-makers at each company (CEO, CPO, and a product manager), and actively building relationships with those 21 individuals. This strategy emphasizes the importance of proactive networking and positioning oneself for a successful exit by establishing personal connections with potential buyers.

[YouTube Link:

Greg suggests a phased approach to incorporating AI into a business. He recommends starting with human fulfillment, then moving to AI-assisted humans, and ultimately transitioning to fully automated AI agents. This allows businesses to establish processes, gather data, and gradually incorporate AI while maintaining a human touch in the early stages.

[YouTube Link:

Greg and Cody emphasize the importance of niching down when offering agency services. Trying to be everything to everyone dilutes the value proposition and makes it difficult to establish expertise and gain a foothold in the market. Instead, focusing on a specific niche allows for a clearer message, stronger positioning, and ultimately, better results.

[YouTube Link:

Cody emphasizes the importance of developing a \"cash flow engine\" for agencies, particularly in the early stages. He recommends creating productized services that provide immediate cash flow and allow for upfront payments, mitigating the challenges of delayed payments and long payment cycles often associated with traditional agency work.

[YouTube Link:

Greg reiterates the importance of prioritizing monetization from day one when building a business. The ability to generate revenue early on ensures sustainability, increases the organization\'s life expectancy, and provides flexibility for future growth and development.

[YouTube Link:

Cody draws a parallel between business and baseball, emphasizing the importance of maximizing \"at-bats at the plate.\" This involves seeking out opportunities to experiment, learn, and refine ideas without the fear of striking out. Just like in baseball, seeing more pitches improves the chances of hitting a home run.

[YouTube Link:

Greg and Cody discuss the power of \"owning distribution\" as a key factor in entrepreneurial success. This involves building an audience on platforms like YouTube and then leveraging that reach to launch and scale new products and services. By controlling the distribution channel, entrepreneurs can bypass traditional marketing and sales efforts, accelerating growth and achieving rapid profitability.

They observed this firsthand at a previous company where everyone attributed their presence to following the smartest people they knew. The idea proposes that as professionals become more senior, their role shifts to creating and cultivating talent density. This suggests a service could exist to help companies assess and improve their talent density, potentially through recruitment, training, or network building initiatives.

"## 0. BUSINESS IDEA - Business Idea Related to Identity and Work

[YouTube Link:

This segment doesn\'t present a concrete business idea but delves into a personal experience that could spark one. The speaker recounts how they suffered from tendonitis in both hands, preventing them from continuing their work as a machine learning engineer. This experience caused a major identity crisis as their self-worth was heavily tied to their ability to work hard and earn money.

The speaker spent a year or two trying to figure out a new path and redefine their sense of value beyond just work. This journey of self-discovery, while challenging, ultimately led to a more fulfilling life. This experience could be the basis for a business idea that helps people:

* **Cope with career-ending injuries** and find new purpose

* **Decouple their identity from their work** and build a more holistic sense of self

* **Discover alternative career paths** that align with their skills and interests

The speaker\'s story highlights the importance of personal growth and adaptability, especially in the face of unforeseen circumstances. This could be positioned as a valuable lesson for anyone, regardless of their career stage.

" -BUSINESS IDEA- 1- **Automated Strawberry Greenhouse**

[YouTube Link:

This business idea revolves around building a fully automated greenhouse for growing strawberries. The key differentiators are:

* **AI and Robotics:** The entire process, from planting to picking, is managed by AI and robots, eliminating human intervention.

* **Special Strawberry Varieties:** The greenhouse focuses on cultivating unique and high-end strawberry varieties developed through AI and tailored to specific taste profiles.

However, concerns are raised about the long-term viability of such a venture:

* **Commoditization:** There's a fear that advancements in AI and robotics might become widespread in the future, leading to an oversupply of high-end strawberries, thus reducing their value and turning them into a commodity.

* **Competition from Giants:** Established agricultural giants like Monsanto, with their vast resources, could potentially replicate this model, posing a significant threat to a startup in this space.

The discussion highlights the need to analyze potential future challenges and market shifts when venturing into technology-driven agricultural businesses.
