Epic guests, huge news, and how to build a media legacy in 14 short years | E2000 1 -BUSINESS IDEA- **Internal Twitter**.[YouTube Link:The speaker was brainstorming about a potential business idea called \"Internal Twitter\". It involved adapting Twitter for internal company communication, enabling status updates and feeds accessible only to employees. The speaker believed this concept had significant potential as an internal communication tool. However, the speaker's idea was later overshadowed by the emergence of Yammer, a similar platform that achieved substantial success, including a billion-dollar acquisition. This experience left the speaker feeling frustrated as they were \"way late dollar short\", highlighting the competitive nature of the tech industry and the importance of timing in bringing ideas to market. [51.72] My First Million__I can't believe nobody's doing this yet_ - 5 cash cow business ideas.txtMy First Million "I can't believe nobody's doing this yet" - 5 cash cow business ideas -BUSINESS IDEA 1- The “how well do you know me” Self-Awareness Test.[YouTube Link:This startup idea centers around a self-awareness test that combines elements of traditional personality tests with social feedback. Users take a personality test, then share it with a close circle of friends, family, or colleagues. The platform gathers feedback from the circle and presents a comparison of the user's self-perception with the perceptions of others. This taps into the viral nature of personality tests while addressing a fundamental human desire to understand how others perceive us. The social feedback component adds a layer of intrigue and virality, as users are likely to compare results and discuss their insights. The business model could potentially involve charging users for premium features, such as detailed analysis reports or coaching sessions based on the test results.-BUSINESS IDEA 2- High-End Embryo Selection and Deselection.[YouTube Link:This business concept envisions a future where embryo selection becomes the norm for wealthy individuals seeking to have children. Advances in genetic testing and data analysis allow for the screening of embryos for a wide range of potential health issues and even physical traits. This service would provide parents with the ability to choose embryos that are most likely to be healthy and possess desired characteristics. The business model would likely involve significant upfront investment in research and development, as well as a premium pricing structure to cater to an affluent clientele. -BUSINESS IDEA 3- Personalized Eye Portrait Prints.[YouTube Link:This idea revolves around creating personalized eye portraits by capturing the intricate details of an individual's iris using specialized scanning technology. The resulting images are then printed as high-quality artworks that customers can display in their homes or wear as jewelry. This business taps into the inherent uniqueness of each person's iris, transforming a seemingly mundane feature into a beautiful and personal piece of art. The key to success lies in creating a visually appealing product and providing a seamless customer experience, from the initial scanning process to the final product delivery.-BUSINESS IDEA 4- Mold Remediation as a Service.[YouTube Link:This startup idea focuses on providing comprehensive mold remediation services, capitalizing on the growing concern about mold and its impact on health. The business model could involve offering free mold inspections to homeowners, using compelling advertising that highlights the prevalence of mold and its potential health risks. Once a problem is identified, the company provides a range of services, from mold removal and cleanup to air purification and preventative measures. This business can leverage digital marketing to reach a broad audience and build a strong brand reputation based on expertise and trustworthiness.-BUSINESS IDEA 5- Rebranding the UK’s National Day.[YouTube Link:This idea is not a traditional business venture but a national rebranding effort aimed at revitalizing the UK's sense of national pride. The proposal involves replacing St. George's Day, a relatively unknown and uncelebrated holiday, with Dunkirk Day, commemorating a pivotal moment in British history during World War II. This new national holiday would emphasize themes of unity, resilience, and national achievement, potentially boosting tourism and national morale. The success of this rebranding effort would rely heavily on public support, government backing, and effective marketing campaigns to establish the significance and appeal of Dunkirk Day.[241.47] My First Million_This Guy Got Nelly To Perform for FREE At His BDay Party_!.txtMy First Million This Guy Got Nelly To Perform for FREE At His BDay Party?![YouTube Link:-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. **Shopify App for Nelly's E-commerce Businesses**.The speaker learned that rapper Nelly was starting two e-commerce businesses. The speaker saw a business opportunity and suggested to Nelly’s team that they should build a Shopify app for these businesses.

AI-powered Pin for Note-Taking. This paragraph discusses a new business idea centered around an AI-powered pin designed for note-taking. Unlike previous attempts at AI pins that aimed to revolutionize online interaction but failed to meet expectations, this pin, called the \"Note P,\" focuses solely on note-taking. The device can be worn as a necklace or wristband, enabling users to record conversations and dictate notes. The recordings are then transcribed using OpenAI's GPT-40. This product is positioned as an \"always ready business partner\" that handles mundane tasks, allowing users to focus on more important aspects of their work and personal lives. The Note P is available for pre-order at $169 with optional subscription plans for transcription services and is expected to ship in late September. [332.97] 20VC with Harry Stebbings_Uber’s big break 🚀.txt20VC with Harry Stebbings Uber’s big break 🚀 -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Uber Launch in Atlanta.[YouTube Link:This paragraph discusses the launch of Uber in Atlanta. Initially, most drivers were hesitant as they were unfamiliar with the platform. To encourage participation, Uber allowed drivers to join for free. During the initial weeks, only a small fraction of drivers were active on the platform. However, the situation changed dramatically one Friday night when the demand surged, leading to full utilization of available drivers and a significant increase in app users. From that point onwards, the primary challenge for Uber in Atlanta shifted from attracting drivers to meeting the rapidly growing demand for rides.

Free Uber X Week.[YouTube Link:To introduce the new UberX service and emphasize its value proposition of being a superior, faster, and more affordable alternative to traditional taxis, Uber experimented with a strategy called \"Free UberX Week.\" During this week-long campaign, users could enjoy complimentary UberX rides. The rationale behind this approach was to encourage trial and adoption by providing a compelling incentive for riders to experience the service firsthand. The company acknowledged that while this initiative came at a significant cost, it was deemed a worthwhile investment considering the anticipated substantial growth of the business over the subsequent months.[422.65] Raw Startup_Should Startup Founders Be in Their 20s_.txtRaw Startup Should Startup Founders Be in Their 20s? -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Building an App Allowing Users to go Off-Grid and Sell Their Data.[YouTube Link:Over a decade ago, S and his team developed an app that enabled users to block data collection on their phones and share data selectively in exchange for payments, essentially cutting out middlemen like Google and Apple and connecting users directly to advertisers. They received assistance from Apple during development, but the app was ultimately removed from the App Store, and S's developer account was banned, possibly due to the disruptive nature of the idea and the potential threat to the established business models of major tech companies.-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Building a Tutor Based on Any Kind of Content.[YouTube Link:Hassan is working on a new startup focusing on revolutionizing education, with a particular interest in experiential learning. He is currently exploring the idea of creating a tutor that leverages any type of content and aims to solve the challenges of delivering effective, personalized education at scale. His passion for education stems from his belief that conventional educational systems often lack the experiential component necessary for deep understanding and impactful learning.[498.88] The Logan Bartlett Show_Celsius CEO_ From Near Bankruptcy to $10B Company.txtThe Logan Bartlett Show Celsius CEO: From Near Bankruptcy to $10B Company -BUSINESS IDEA 1- **Negative Calorie Drink**.[YouTube Link:The initial vision for Celsius was to create a negative calorie drink. This drink would burn 100 to 140 calories and help with fat burning. The idea was born from the desire to create a pre-workout drink and a healthy soda alternative. The drink's effectiveness was supported by six clinical studies and was even featured on the Today Show. A class action lawsuit in California demonstrated the scientific backing of the product, showcasing its ability to deliver on its claims.-BUSINESS IDEA 2- **On-the-Go Energy Drink Capsules and Tablets**.[YouTube Link:Celsius is looking into the future of the beverage industry and sees opportunity in alternative delivery mechanisms for energy drinks.

[559.68] Matthew Berman_AI DOOM_ Fully AI Generated Video Games Are HERE!.txtMatthew Berman AI DOOM: Fully AI Generated Video Games Are HERE! -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Personalized and AI-Generated Video Games.[YouTube Link:Imagine being able to play a video game unlike any other, entirely unique and personalized to you, generated in real time by AI. This innovative approach to video game development eliminates the need for pre-defined rules, levels, or characters. Instead, AI algorithms would generate the game world and experiences on the fly, tailoring them to individual player preferences and choices. This opens up a world of possibilities for customization, allowing players to adjust gameplay, style, and even introduce personalized cheat codes. This concept extends beyond video games and could revolutionize how we create and consume all forms of entertainment, from movies and TV shows to music, ultimately delivering a highly personalized and immersive experience for each individual. -BUSINESS IDEA- 2.

[664.96] Elijah Murray_How to Bootstrap a Successful Service Business - Roger Einstoss.txtElijah Murray How to Bootstrap a Successful Service Business - Roger Einstoss -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Service-based company for a specific industry.[YouTube Link:The most important thing is to understand your strengths and focus on a service area where you excel. Instead of trying to offer a wide range of services, specialize in one area where you have deep expertise. For example, if you\'re a skilled software engineer, focus on providing software development services. It's crucial to understand why you are the best person to offer this particular service. Avoid spreading yourself too thin by trying to do everything yourself. Instead, identify an industry you understand well and have experience in. This could be an industry where your friends work or where you\'ve previously worked. By focusing on a specific industry, you\'ll have a better understanding of your target clients, their needs, and their pain points, which will make it easier to tailor your services and attract clients. Also, don\'t invest too much money upfront. Find your first client, build a team around that project, and then gradually grow your company by reinvesting the money you earn from your clients. This approach will help you minimize your financial risk. As you gain more clients and projects, you can expand your team and scale your business organically. [739.07] More or Less Podcast_#62_ Telegram, Free Speech and Its Limits.txtMore or Less Podcast #62: Telegram, Free Speech and Its Limits -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Fake Burning Man Studio's.[YouTube Link:There's a discussion about how to still offer appealing Burning Man pictures to influencers while offering a better real Burning Man experience to the true fans. The idea is to set up Fake Burning Man Studios with dirt and other props all over the country. The influencers can go there and take their pictures, while the organizers can move the real Burning Man and not tell the influencers where it is. It is compared to the fake private jet photoshoots influencers currently use. The problem is that AI will likely be able to provide very convincing fake pictures soon. The idea is then adjusted to a van that functions as a mobile photoshoot studio. -BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Fake Experience Studios.[YouTube Link:The discussion about a mobile photoshoot van for influencers leads to the idea of setting up fake experience studios with good lighting. People who want to impress with pictures on social media but cannot afford a real experience can go there for convincing pictures. Examples given are Virgin Galactic Spaceship pictures and Burning Man pictures. The problem mentioned is that AI will likely be able to provide the same result soon, without the need for a photoshoot. -BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Messenger launching Cryptocurrency.[YouTube Link:It is mentioned that the idea behind the Telegram Open Network was interesting: combining a messenger with a cryptocurrency and a wallet. The idea is deemed to still be good and not fully exploited. -BUSINESS IDEA- 4. National Identity Stacks.[YouTube Link:The suggestion is made that America should provide an identity authentication framework. This would allow people to log into the internet with their America ID. This is mentioned in a discussion about whether free speech for people from outside the U.S. should be allowed inside of U.S. digital borders.

This way, instead of relying on internal teams that may not have the necessary expertise or motivation, companies could leverage the creativity and drive of startups and independent developers. It would be like a competition where the company sets the challenge and the prize money, and multiple teams would compete to create the best solution. 3. -BUSINESS IDEA- The Milk Road Grant.[YouTube Link:The idea is for a crypto-focused newsletter to offer grants to developers for building new and innovative crypto applications. This would help to promote the development of the crypto ecosystem and provide much-needed funding to promising projects. The grants would not be huge, just enough to justify a developer spending a few months on a project. This would be a win-win situation for everyone involved - the newsletter would get to promote exciting new projects, the developers would get funding and exposure, and the crypto ecosystem would benefit from the development of new and innovative applications.[126.97] Greg Isenberg_Business Idea_ Lead Generation Agency _ $1M - $10M+ Idea.txtGreg Isenberg Business Idea: Lead Generation Agency | $1M - $10M+ Idea -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Lead generation for local businesses.[YouTube Link:This business idea involves generating leads for local businesses and then selling those leads to larger companies. The example given is a nationwide dumpster rental company that doesn\'t have a physical presence in every city but still appears in local search results. This company then sells the leads generated from these local listings to actual dumpster rental companies in those areas. The key to success in this model is finding a centralized buyer for the leads, ideally a large company or franchise with multiple locations. By offering a certain number of free leads upfront, the business can demonstrate the value of its services and secure a long-term paying customer.

He emphasizes that this issue hasn\'t received adequate attention from the media and policymakers and highlights its potential to harm individuals, particularly women. He believes AI companies should bear some responsibility for preventing such misuse and calls for greater awareness and action to address this growing problem.

Niantic's Real-World Metaverse.[YouTube Link:Niantic, the company behind Pokemon Go, is working on building a 3D map of the world to create what they call a real-world metaverse. They are doing this by incentivizing users of their apps, such as Pokemon Go, Ingress and Wayfarer, to scan real-world locations to earn in-game rewards. This technology spun out of their acquisition of Scaniverse. Their goal is to create an augmented reality experience that brings people closer to the world around them. To achieve this, they\'ve developed a new app called Scaniverse 4 (only available on IOS), which allows users to scan objects and environments in 3D with high resolution. This app uses a new approach called \"gossi and splatting\" to allow for faster processing, and create more realistic 3D models that capture details like window transparency, water reflections, and tree leaves. Niantic plans on using these 3D models to augment gameplay and create virtual reality experiences down the line. [296.91] EO_$2B Web3 Startup Building the Future of IP in the Age of AIㅣTeam Story Documentary.txtEO $2B Web3 Startup Building the Future of IP in the Age of AIㅣTeam Story Documentary -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Byline: a crowdfunded journalism platform.[YouTube Link:Byline was a crowdfunded journalism platform with the goal of providing an alternative revenue stream for journalists who were losing their jobs because of the collapse of the advertising-driven model for news. Readers could directly fund journalists to write about specific topics that interested them. -BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Radish: a mobile serialized fiction platform.[YouTube Link:Radish was a mobile platform for serialized fiction, capitalizing on the demand for short-form, episodic content delivered on smartphones. Readers could access daily installments of stories, particularly in the romance genre. The company aimed to monopolize the mobile fiction market by focusing on a specific niche and expanding from there. Radish was later acquired by Kakao for nearly half a billion dollars.-BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Story: a blockchain-based platform for programmable intellectual property (IP).[YouTube Link:Story is a blockchain-based platform designed to revolutionize the way intellectual property (IP) is managed and monetized. Its core concept is to make IP \"programmable\" by attaching usage terms and licensing agreements directly to digital content. Imagine this as embedding a set of rules into a piece of content, like a song, image, or character, that automatically governs how others can use, modify, and profit from it. This eliminates the need for complex legal documents and intermediaries.Here's how it works:1. **IP Legos:** Creators register their work (music, art, characters, etc.) on the Story blockchain. Think of these registered pieces as \"IP Legos.\"2. **Setting the Terms:** Creators define the terms of use for their IP Legos. They can specify licensing fees, royalty splits, geographic restrictions, commercial vs. non-commercial usage, and more. 3. **Blockchain Tracking:** All of this information is securely and transparently recorded on the Story blockchain.4. **Composable Creativity:** Other creators can then easily discover and license these IP Legos, building upon them to create new works. They can remix, adapt, and create derivative works, all while the original creators maintain control and receive automated compensation. Story aims to:- **Empower Creators:** By giving them more control over their work and ensuring they get paid fairly for its use.- **Unlock New Creative Possibilities:** By making it easy for creators to collaborate and build upon each other's ideas.- **Create a More Vibrant and Inclusive Creative Economy:** By lowering the barriers to entry and enabling anyone to participate in the creation and monetization of IP. [474.10] The MAD Podcast with Matt Turck_The Next Frontier_ Giving Memory to AI.txtThe MAD Podcast with Matt Turck The Next Frontier: Giving Memory to AI[YouTube Link:**BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Memory Tuning for LLMs.** This business idea focuses on developing a service called \"memory tuning.\" This service is designed to enhance Large Language Models (LLMs) by eliminating inaccuracies, referred to as \"hallucinations,\" and enabling them to provide perfect or near-perfect responses in specific areas while maintaining their general knowledge base. This would involve a shift from LLMs being generally knowledgeable to specializing in specific domains, making them exceptionally accurate and reliable for tasks that demand precise factual recall.[514.48] Foundr_The DEFINITIVE Framework For Working With Influencers _ Hudson Leogrande.txtFoundr The DEFINITIVE Framework For Working With Influencers | Hudson Leogrande[YouTube Link:-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. **Commission-based Creator Partnerships**. This business idea revolves around partnering with content creators to produce marketing materials, specifically for TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, and Snapchat. The key elements are:* **Focus on relatability:** Partnering with micro-influencers who have a smaller but engaged following is prioritized. The idea is that their authenticity resonates more strongly with viewers who are generally desensitized to traditional advertising. * **Emotional Marketing:** Creators are encouraged to showcase their genuine experiences and opinions about the product or service, thereby selling an emotion or feeling rather than just features. * **Commission-based Model:** Creators are paid a 10% commission on sales generated through their content. This incentivizes them to create high-performing content while aligning their interests with the business's success.* **Transparency and Trust:** The business emphasizes open communication with creators, explaining the rationale behind the commission model and ensuring they understand the potential for high earnings. This builds trust and encourages long-term partnerships.* **Content Repurposing:** Content created for TikTok is leveraged across other social media platforms for maximum reach and cost-effectiveness.This model benefits both parties: the business gets high-quality, relatable marketing content, and the creators can earn significant income based on their efforts and the success of their content. [594.62] Foundr_It's never too late, if you have the energy..txtFoundr It's never too late, if you have the energy.[YouTube Link:**BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Importance of gaining experience before starting a company.**It might be beneficial for aspiring entrepreneurs to gain experience by working in a company before starting their own venture. This allows them to learn valuable insights into business operations, which can be crucial for success. Leasing premises and renting cars can be challenging at a young age due to restrictions, making it harder to conduct business. Moreover, social situations like business meetings in bars might be restricted for younger individuals. [631.75] Startup Pitches_Squid IQ - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day.txtStartup Pitches Squid IQ - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Squid IQ: A Medical Device Management Platform.[YouTube Link:Squid IQ is a medical device management platform that addresses the widespread problem of inefficient medical device management in hospitals. The platform integrates equipment data from various hospital systems, providing real-time information on device availability, location, and status. This helps hospitals optimize device utilization, eliminate unnecessary purchases, and reduce waste, resulting in significant cost savings. Squid IQ's workflow automation features streamline device allocation and tracking, freeing up nurses\' time and improving patient care. The company operates on a SaaS business model and has already secured its first customer with a potential annual recurring revenue of $375,000.

The speaker highlights the potential of AI image generation models, trained on specific individuals or objects, to create high-quality, customizable visuals. This approach could revolutionize product photography, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional photoshoots.

Rey, with his years of experience managing car dealerships, and Zach, with his passion for internet business and YouTube, joined forces to create this venture. The idea was born when Zach suggested creating YouTube videos where Rey would answer frequently asked questions about car dealerships, negotiations, and profit margins. These videos quickly gained popularity during the pandemic, amassing 13,000 subscribers within eight weeks. They leveraged this initial success to launch CarEdge, a website that offers car buying services, including providing information on profit margins for a monthly fee and acting as a car broker for a flat fee. CarEdge differentiates itself from traditional mom-and-pop car brokerages by offering a user-friendly online platform and transparent pricing. They have built a strong brand around the wholesome father-son dynamic, attracting over 600,000 YouTube subscribers and generating an estimated $10 million in annual revenue. [72.38] TechCrunch_Lessons from a lifetime entrepreneur with Eric Ly from KarmaCheck.txtTechCrunch Lessons from a lifetime entrepreneur with Eric Ly from KarmaCheck -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Authenticating news sources.[YouTube Link:To combat the issue of misinformation and deep fakes, Karma Check is being explored as a tool for authenticating news sources. The goal is to provide more transparency by verifying the source of information, whether it's generated by individuals or AI bots. This would allow users to trust the information they encounter online.[100.42] Greg Isenberg_5 validated startup ideas that will make you money.txtGreg Isenberg 5 validated startup ideas that will make you money[YouTube Link:1. -BUSINESS IDEA- Leverage Facebook Reels for Affiliate Marketing and Agency Services.Chris, an entrepreneur with multiple businesses, noticed a lack of competition on Facebook Reels compared to Instagram. He suggests two business ideas based on this observation. Firstly, creators can leverage the ability to post clickable links in Facebook Reel comments. By cross-posting from Instagram and strategically pinning comments with affiliate links, they can tap into Facebook's large user base for monetization. Secondly, an agency could be formed to manage this process for creators who don\'t have the time or inclination. This agency could act as a middleman, connecting creators with businesses looking to promote their products through affiliate marketing on Facebook Reels.[YouTube Link:2. -BUSINESS IDEA- Programmatic SEO Agency as an Alternative to Franchising.Chris proposes an alternative to traditional franchises by creating a programmatic SEO agency. This agency would identify unsaturated local service niches with high search volume but low competition. By building out optimized landing pages and leveraging tools like Webflow, Tag Parrot, Whale Sync, Airtable, and Zapier for automation, the agency can generate leads at scale. These leads can then be sold to local businesses or used to launch a new, hyperlocal service business. This model provides a lower-cost, turnkey solution compared to traditional franchises, offering a faster path to profitability.[YouTube Link:3. -BUSINESS IDEA- AI Tool for Viral Content Repurposing and Prediction.Recognizing the challenge of manually tracking and repurposing viral content across platforms, Chris suggests an AI-driven tool. This tool would monitor platforms like TikTok and Twitter, using keywords and user-defined engagement metrics to identify viral content. Once identified, the tool would repurpose the content for the user's chosen platform (e.g., Twitter, Instagram) and, crucially, predict the potential engagement (impressions, likes, follows) the repurposed content could garner. This predictive feature would be invaluable for creators looking to maximize reach and efficiency.[YouTube Link:4. -BUSINESS IDEA- Lifetime Warranty Model for Sandals.Inspired by the success of Shady Rays, a sunglasses brand built on a lifetime warranty, Chris proposes applying this model to sandals or flip-flops. By sourcing affordable, high-quality sandals and offering a lifetime replacement guarantee, a business can create a strong value proposition. The perceived value of the warranty allows for higher pricing, while a small \"restocking fee\" for replacements ensures profitability. This model leverages a unique selling point in a competitive market and fosters customer loyalty.[YouTube Link:5. -BUSINESS IDEA- Shopify Abandoned Cart Call Center Agency.Chris identified a gap in the market for a service that personally contacts Shopify store customers who abandon their carts. This agency would leverage a call center, potentially staffed by stay-at-home moms who align with the target customer demographic. The agents would offer discounts, address customer queries, and gather valuable feedback. This personalized approach can significantly improve conversion rates and provide insights for optimizing the online store. The agency can use platforms like BuiltWith to identify and target Shopify stores with high-margin products to maximize ROI. [328.72] World of DaaS with Auren Hoffman_Bryan Caplan - The Signaling Game in Education & Parenting.txtWorld of DaaS with Auren Hoffman Bryan Caplan - The Signaling Game in Education & Parenting -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Starting a business as a plumber.[YouTube Link: There is a great future in starting a business as a plumber. AI will probably not replace plumbers anytime soon and there seems to be a shortage of skilled plumbers. You get to solve peoples problems, you can start as an apprentice and earn money as you learn, and once you are a good plumber you can make a lot of money.-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Starting a school with unconventional Humanities education.[YouTube Link: It might be a good business idea to start an unconventional school with unconventional Humanities education, focusing on things that are not taught in traditional schools and using unconventional pedagogical techniques. For example, a school could teach its students to become prodigies in a specific field by giving them the time to work on this specific skill, for example, by skipping middle school and going to the University instead. It might be helpful to combine this unconventional education with a STEM degree. This kind of unconventional education could be especially interesting for unconventional students that do not fit in well in a more traditional school environment. -BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Starting a business that helps young people find vocational training.[YouTube Link:Many young people, especially young men, run out of patience with traditional education and then drop out of school without being prepared for a career. It might be a good business idea to start a business that helps them find vocational training. Vocational training can help them to get a job earlier and make a good living. Even if they decide to go to college later on, they already have a career to fall back on and some work experience.-BUSINESS IDEA- 4. Starting a business that merges different data sets for academics.[YouTube Link:It is hard to get access to big data sets that combine personal, economic, educational, and crime data. Academics would love to have access to such data sets because this data could be used to answer very important questions, like whether personality has a big influence on economic success. Therefore, it would be a good business idea to create and provide such merged data sets to academics.-BUSINESS IDEA- 5. Starting a business that translates Japanese research into English.[YouTube Link: It is hard to get English translations of Japanese research on topics like poverty and economics. However, Japan is an interesting country to study because it has very little poverty, although most Japanese do the things that statistically lead to poverty in other countries, such as the US. Therefore, it might be a good business idea to start a translation business that translates Japanese research on these topics into English. -BUSINESS IDEA- 6. Starting a business that helps Americans to move to places with good job opportunities.[YouTube Link: Many Americans do not move to places with good job opportunities because their salary gains will be eaten up by higher housing costs. On the other hand, companies complain about hiring shortages. It would be a good business idea to start a business that helps Americans move to these places, finding jobs and affordable housing for them. This could especially help lower-skilled workers. -BUSINESS IDEA- 7. Starting a business coaching young men how to get dates.[YouTube Link: Young people, especially young men, are very hesitant to approach strangers for a date. However, a direct approach seems to be the best way to meet someone. A business coaching young men how to successfully use a more direct approach when dating might be successful. [534.47] Sequoia Capital_Sierra co-founder Clay Bavor on Making Customer-Facing AI Agents Delightful.txtSequoia Capital Sierra co-founder Clay Bavor on Making Customer-Facing AI Agents Delightful 1. -BUSINESS IDEA- Sierra - AI Agents For Customer Service.[YouTube Link:Clay Bavor, co-founder of Sierra, discusses his new company which aims to elevate customer experiences by allowing businesses to create branded, AI-powered customer service agents. He highlights the paradigm shift in human-computer interaction enabled by advancements in AI, noting that conversational AI allows customers to simply explain their needs instead of navigating complex product catalogs. Sierras AI agents are designed to go beyond answering questions, taking actions like advising on Weight Watchers points, managing subscriptions, diagnosing radio issues (SiriusXM), and helping with product selection (Olai flip-flops). The company boasts impressive results with a 70% resolution rate for customer inquiries and customer satisfaction ratings higher than human agents in some cases. Clay emphasizes the importance of educating customers about the intelligence of these agents and building trust, using techniques like streaming answers word by word. He envisions a future where AI agents seamlessly integrate into every aspect of the customer journey, from pre-purchase considerations to product setup and troubleshooting, ultimately enhancing brand connection and customer loyalty.2. -BUSINESS IDEA- TOW Bench: A New Benchmark For Real-World AI Agent Performance.[YouTube Link:Clay Bavor introduces TOW Bench, a research paper and benchmark developed by Sierra to address the limitations of existing benchmarks in measuring AI agent performance. TOW, a Greek symbol standing for Tool Agent User, aims to assess agents\' abilities in real-world scenarios characterized by natural language interactions, multi-step conversations, and tool utilization. Unlike simplistic single-task benchmarks, TOW Bench simulates messy human interactions, allowing for various user personas and non-deterministic language. This simulator involves two agents: one being tested and another simulating a user with diverse personas. The tested agent can use tools, such as calculators or order management systems, interacting with a mock database for evaluation. Results from TOW Bench demonstrate the inadequacy of standalone LLMs in handling complex tasks. Even in well-defined scenarios like returns or airline reservations, the best-performing LLMs achieved only 61% and 35% success rates, respectively. This highlights the need for more sophisticated agent architectures, like Sierras Agent OS, to ensure safe and reliable AI agent deployment at scale across various domains.3. -BUSINESS IDEA- Outcome-Based Pricing for AI Problem Solving.[YouTube Link:Clay Bavor discusses Sierras innovative resolution-based pricing model, a departure from traditional software pricing. Sierra charges its customers only when their AI agents successfully resolve customer issues. This approach aligns Sierras incentives with its clients, promoting continuous improvement in resolution rates and customer satisfaction. The cost-effectiveness of AI agents compared to human agents provides significant cost savings for businesses, while also potentially increasing customer satisfaction. This straightforward pricing model simplifies ROI calculations for businesses and reflects the core value proposition of AI agents getting the job done, solving problems efficiently and reliably. It eliminates guesswork associated with traditional licensing models and focuses on delivering tangible outcomes for customers.[768.30] Startup Pitches_Max Retail - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day.txtStartup Pitches Max Retail - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day[YouTube Link:### -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Max Retail. Max Retail is a platform that connects retailers with excess inventory to other retailers who can sell those goods. Retailers can upload their inventory to the platform, which is then digitally curated and distributed to relevant e-commerce retailers. When a customer buys from one of these sites, Max Retail ships the product directly from the original retailer to the customer. Max Retail also works with brands to sell their excess inventory in bulk to off-price brick and mortar retailers. The company makes money by taking a percentage of each sale. Max Retail is currently in discussions with eight new partners for its drop-ship program and over 35 new partners for liquidation. The companys supply chain includes inventory listed by retail partners of over 1,600 brands. In 2021, Max Retail moved 32,000 units, and year-to-date in 2022, the company has already moved over 200,000. Last year, Max Retail had $344,000 in revenue and is on track to exceed $3 million by the end of this year.[833.84] Startup Pitches_Equatorial Space - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day.txtStartup Pitches Equatorial Space - LA TechStars Accelerator Demo Day[YouTube Link:-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Safe, Affordable, and Green Rockets.A company called Equatorial Space has developed a new type of rocket that is safer, more affordable, and more environmentally friendly than traditional rockets. The company's rockets use a hybrid propulsion system that combines a liquid oxidizer with solid fuel, which are separated for safety. Equatorial Space claims that its rockets are 90% cheaper and produce 70% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional rockets. The company plans to begin providing launch services by 2025 and has already generated significant market interest. This is a public episode.

AI-free products and services.**This business idea centers around capitalizing on the emerging \"AI-free\" trend. As AI becomes increasingly pervasive, there's a growing segment of consumers who might feel overwhelmed or even threatened by its implications. Positioning a startup as explicitly \"AI-free\" could be a potent differentiator. For example, an \"AI-free\" writing service could appeal to authors who value human creativity and want to ensure their work retains a distinct voice. This approach could satisfy the demand for alternatives in a market increasingly saturated with AI-driven solutions. [38.40] My First Million_Why This Millionaire Took A $5.75_Hour McDonald’s Job.txtMy First Million Why This Millionaire Took A $5.75/Hour McDonald’s Job\[YouTube Link:-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. One of the world's first online internet advertising agencies. This agency was started in the mid-1990s, during the early days of the internet, with the goal of capitalizing on the growing popularity of this new technology. The founder, who had been inspired by the release of Netscape, recognized the potential of the internet to transform the advertising industry. The agency was eventually sold for around $15 million, which would be equivalent to approximately $30 million in today's money. [71.82] Lenny's Podcast_How to consistently go viral_ Nikita Bier’s playbook for winning at consumer apps.txtLenny's Podcast How to consistently go viral: Nikita Bier’s playbook for winning at consumer apps\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Potify.[YouTube Link:The first business idea discussed is an app called Potify, designed to educate American voters about the financial consequences of their voting decisions. The app would take into account a user's basic personal information, such as the number of children and age, and then calculate the financial impact of various presidential policy proposals, like tax plans and government benefits. It would also simulate the effect of those policies on different zip codes, allowing users to understand the community-level impact. The app aimed to address the observation that many Americans vote against their own financial interests. Potify gained significant traction, acquiring 4 million users during one election season. -BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Five Labs.[YouTube Link:The speaker describes a mobile application named Five Labs. This app analyzed a user's Facebook posts to determine their personality based on their language usage. Notably, it employed the same underlying model as Cambridge Analytica. This app achieved substantial virality, amassing profiles for tens of millions of users in a mere three days. -BUSINESS IDEA- 3. TBH - Anonymous polling app.[YouTube Link:Inspired by a trend observed on Snapchat where teens would post emojis representing positive qualities and ask friends to identify who those qualities best described, the speaker developed an anonymous polling app named TBH. It addressed the desire among teens to receive positive affirmations from their peers. TBH allowed users to answer polls about their friends anonymously, with all poll options designed to be positive. It quickly gained popularity in the Georgia high school where it was initially launched, with 40% of the student body downloading it within 24 hours. To ensure fairness and prevent negative feelings, the app's system was designed to guarantee that every user received votes. At its peak, TBH achieved a remarkable 360,000 downloads per day. -BUSINESS IDEA- 4. TBH - Second Iteration (Gas)[YouTube Link:After selling TBH to Facebook, the speaker revisited the app's core concept, driven by user feedback suggesting a strong desire to pay for the ability to reveal who had voted for them in the polls. This time around, he wanted to explore whether the concept could be monetized. This new iteration, initially called TBH and later renamed Gas, involved rebuilding the app with a new team and adapting it to the changed regulatory landscape, particularly regarding text message invitations. Despite facing challenges, including a hoax accusing the app of being used for human trafficking, Gas proved to be another success, surpassing TBH in popularity and generating significant revenue.

One example is cloning Airbnb and launching it in Europe. This strategy can be applied to bootstrapped businesses. For example, a mobile DEXA scan business called Body Spec operates in San Francisco and Austin, generating $2 million in revenue with 14 vans. The business is easy to scale, partnering with CrossFit gyms and parking in their parking lots to offer seven-minute DEXA scan appointments. The idea is to replicate the Body Spec model in Europe, starting with Portugal, and then expand to Spain and France. This business has wide appeal and is affordable to launch, requiring less than $50,000 to get started.-BUSINESS IDEA 2- Branding a Biohacking Center in an Emerging Country.[YouTube Link:The AIWO center in India provides various health tests and services, including a full-body MRI scan, for a fraction of the cost in the United States. The idea is to create a similar \"biohacking center\" in another country with advanced medical technology, such as Turkey or Korea. Targeting the biohacking community and leveraging influencers in the space can be an effective marketing strategy. Partnering with existing labs and clinics in the chosen country allows for a concierge-like service without needing to invest in expensive equipment. -BUSINESS IDEA 3- Medical Tourism for Plastic Surgery and Other Elective Procedures.[YouTube Link:There's a growing trend of medical tourism, where people travel to other countries for affordable healthcare, including plastic surgery and dental work. The idea is to facilitate this trend by creating a platform or agency that connects patients with reputable hospitals and clinics in countries like India and Mexico, offering significantly lower prices for the same quality of care. While a previous startup in this space failed to gain traction, focusing on specific niches like hair transplants in Turkey, which is already popular, could increase chances of success.

The suggested solution focuses on establishing a clear, binary process for each stage of candidate evaluation, limiting the number of interviews to two (selling and qualifying), and minimizing the involvement of non-essential personnel like HR or engineers. This streamlined approach aims to save time, reduce risk, and maintain credibility throughout the interview process.-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. **AI-Powered Content Marketing for Startups.**[YouTube Link:Startups struggle to gain recognition and generate leads, especially in competitive markets. Traditional outbound methods like email and LinkedIn are becoming less effective. One solution could be AI-driven content marketing, which helps personalize content and target specific customer segments. Leveraging AI can optimize content creation, making it more compelling and efficient, especially for startups with limited resources. Verticalization, focusing on a specific industry or niche, further enhances content effectiveness by enabling targeted messaging and customized solutions.[208.00] This Week in Startups_AI Demos_ New Runway, Grok 2.0, Flux & Jam Session with Ulama _ E1997.txtThis Week in Startups AI Demos: New Runway, Grok 2.0, Flux & Jam Session with Ulama | E1997\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. **Chrome Extension for Opening Chat GPT**.[YouTube Link:Someone created a Chrome extension which will open a new tab with chat.gpt.com, each time a new tab is opened.

The system allows technicians to scan a vehicle's VIN and instantly access relevant TSBs and documentation.

This is a co-pilot for the technician, helping them diagnose and repair vehicles more efficiently.-BUSINESS IDEA- 4. **AI-Powered Tax Assistant**.[YouTube Link:Tax GPT is a company that offers an AI-powered tax assistant. It acts as a co-pilot for tax preparation, providing users with guidance and assistance in navigating complex tax regulations.

The Slow Living Interior Design Agency.[YouTube Link:Building upon the rising trend of slow living, there is an opportunity to create a specialized interior design agency.

Services could range from full-scale interior design projects to consultations, workshops, and curated product selections.-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Health Coaching for Busy Entrepreneurs.[YouTube Link:Given the saturation of health and wellness content on platforms like Instagram, targeting a niche audience like busy entrepreneurs on LinkedIn presents a unique opportunity. There's a gap in the market for health coaching services tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced by entrepreneurs, such as long work hours, high stress levels, and difficulty maintaining a healthy work-life balance. [423.06] The Logan Bartlett Show_Josh Wolfe _Lux Capital__ Predictions on Emerging Technologies, AI, and the Future of VC.txtThe Logan Bartlett Show Josh Wolfe (Lux Capital): Predictions on Emerging Technologies, AI, and the Future of VC\ -BUSINESS IDEA 1- **Elemental Energy: Rebranding Nuclear Power.**[YouTube Link:There's a discussion about the negative perception of nuclear power, stemming from its association with nuclear war and accidents like Chernobyl. It's argued that if nuclear power were invented today, it would be hailed as a magical energy source due to its zero-carbon and large baseload power capabilities. The proposal is to rebrand nuclear power as \"Elemental Energy\" to disassociate it from past negative connotations and emphasize its reliance on the element uranium. This rebranding aims to make nuclear power more palatable to the public and highlight its benefits as a clean energy source.-BUSINESS IDEA 2- **Inner Species Internet: Enabling Animal Communication through Technology.**[YouTube Link:This concept envisions an \"Inner Species Internet\" where technology facilitates communication between different animal species. Inspired by figures like Vince Surf, Peter Gabriel, and Isabelle Rossellini, the idea acknowledges the inner lives of animals and explores the potential of technology to bridge the communication gap. This internet could utilize visual cues interpreted by AI and computer vision, along with analysis of animal sounds, to translate animal language for interspecies understanding. While the closest existing example involves dogs trained to communicate using buttons, this concept aims to unlock a more dynamic and sophisticated interspecies internet.-BUSINESS IDEA 3- **Osmo: Teleporting Smells.**[YouTube Link:This company, a spinout from Google, focuses on \"Digital Olfaction\" - the digitization and transmission of smell. The discussion highlights how smell, unlike other senses, directly impacts the brain, making it powerful for triggering memories and emotions. The technical challenge lies in smell's complexity, being composed of multiple dimensions beyond simple frequency and amplitude. Osmo aims to solve this using advanced technology, with plans to successfully teleport a smell in the current year. Beyond consumer applications like recreating nostalgic scents, this technology has significant potential in healthcare, allowing early disease detection by replicating the scent-based diagnostics used by dogs. Further applications are envisioned in areas like insecticide development, personal tagging, and even defense.-BUSINESS IDEA 4- **Pi: Universal Operating System for Robots.**[YouTube Link:This startup, focusing on \"Physical Intelligence,\" aims to create a universal operating system for robots operating in unconstrained environments. While current robots excel in controlled settings like warehouses, Pi targets the development of robots capable of navigating and interacting with the real world as adeptly as a four-year-old child. This involves developing a robot's intuitive understanding of physics, force, and navigation in dynamic, unpredictable environments. The key differentiator for Pi lies in its focus on building a comprehensive training dataset, a \"repository of Universal Robot intelligence,\" allowing robots to learn and adapt to diverse real-world situations. The discussion emphasizes a belief in specialized robots excelling at specific tasks, while Pi acts as the unifying intelligence powering their actions.[605.30] Matthew Berman_Humanoid Robots, Grok 2 Large, Midjourney Web, Ideogram 2.0, Autonomous Taxis, AI Used For Harm.txtMatthew Berman Humanoid Robots, Grok 2 Large, Midjourney Web, Ideogram 2.0, Autonomous Taxis, AI Used For Harm\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1.

McDonalds business idea.[YouTube Link:The success of McDonald's is not attributed to the idea of cooking hamburgers itself, but rather to the efficient process and system they implemented. They recognized the demand for affordable and quick food options, and their execution of this concept is what propelled their growth. The real innovation lay in their ability to deliver a fast-food experience at a low cost. This underscores the importance of execution in business. While a good idea is valuable, it is the execution that ultimately determines success.[673.84] More or Less Podcast_#61_ The Venture Capital Reset Era.txtMore or Less Podcast #61: The Venture Capital Reset Era\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. High Protein Milk for Kids.[YouTube Link:The speakers discuss the challenge of finding high-protein milk that kids will actually drink. They highlight Fairlife milk, a Coca-Cola product, as a potential solution. The chocolate-flavored version has been successful in getting the speakers\' kids to consume more protein.

ETF Investing in CEOs Who Lift Weights or Participate in Fighting Sports.[YouTube Link:The speakers discuss a hypothetical ETF that would exclusively invest in companies led by CEOs who engage in weightlifting or fighting sports. This idea, inspired by a recent podcast featuring Stacy Sims, is presented as a humorous take on the correlation between physical fitness and successful leadership.

A Service Offering MRI Scans with Netflix Streaming.[YouTube Link:One of the speakers describes a positive experience with a service called Pruvo, which allowed them to watch Netflix during a full-body MRI scan.

Frustrated with the lack of makeup solutions for her skin condition, rosacea, and the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by the industry, she envisioned a company that used real people as models, showcasing diverse ages, sizes, skin tones, and skin challenges. This vision stemmed from a deep personal why: to shift the definition of beauty and empower individuals who felt inadequate due to traditional beauty advertising. Despite facing countless rejections from retailers and investors, she persisted, driven by her belief in her authentic approach and her desire to connect with customers on a genuine level. -BUSINESS IDEA 2- Direct-to-Consumer Beauty Products.[YouTube Link:Faced with constant rejections from established beauty retailers, Jamie Kern Lima decided to take her It Cosmetics products directly to consumers. With limited resources, her husband built their first website using a \"HTML for Dummies\" book. This move exemplified a startup mentality, bypassing traditional gatekeepers and establishing a direct connection with customers. Although initial sales were slow, it allowed It Cosmetics to gain traction and build a loyal customer base, eventually leading to their breakthrough success on QVC. This strategy highlights the potential of a direct-to-consumer model for new businesses, especially those with a unique value proposition that may not resonate with traditional retailers.

Extracting water on the moon.[YouTube Link:Starpath Robotics is a company working on a system for extracting water on the moon. The idea is to use a fleet of mining rovers to dig up moon dirt, which will be transported to an autonomous processing plant. The plant will then extract water molecules from the dirt, and use them to make liquid oxygen. This liquid oxygen can then be used as rocket fuel. This system would address the challenge of supplying long-term missions on the moon with water from Earth. This is only feasible in areas of the moon that never see the sun, as they are cold enough to contain ice. These areas are inhospitable, reaching temperatures of -334 F. The company plans to power the plant with a large solar array designed by another company called Cesal. Starpath has recently raised $12 million in seed funding to further develop their technology.

The target market is vast, as there are billions of non-native English speakers globally who are eager to improve their writing skills for professional and personal reasons. The potential revenue model could involve a monthly subscription fee.[98.33] 20VC with Harry Stebbings_Aman Narang_ 5 Lessons Scaling Toast to $14BN Market Cap _ E1192.txt20VC with Harry Stebbings Aman Narang: 5 Lessons Scaling Toast to $14BN Market Cap | E1192\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. QR Code Ordering and Payment.[YouTube Link:The idea involved using QR codes at restaurants, allowing customers to order and pay using their phones. This was intended to improve efficiency by speeding up the payment process and increasing table turnover. However, this initial idea faced challenges in scaling and ultimately did not succeed. -BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Toast Point-of-Sale System.[YouTube Link:After the QR code idea failed to gain traction, the founders pivoted to developing a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) system specifically for restaurants. They recognized the existing POS systems were outdated and inefficient. This new POS system aimed to streamline restaurant operations and integrate various functionalities, such as online ordering, payments, and inventory management, into a single platform. Despite early challenges with product reliability and scalability, this idea resonated with restaurant owners, who were eager for a better solution. -BUSINESS IDEA- 3. Toast Capital.[YouTube Link:Building on their success with the POS system and recognizing the need for restaurant financing, Toast expanded into fintech with Toast Capital. They leveraged their existing payments infrastructure and transaction data to offer loans to restaurant owners directly through the Toast platform. This simplified the loan application process, streamlined repayments, and enabled more accurate risk assessment based on real-time restaurant performance data. -BUSINESS IDEA- 4. Toast Phone System.[YouTube Link:This product was an integrated phone system for restaurants, offering features like call forwarding and voicemail integration. The initial thesis was that restaurants would readily adopt a phone system integrated with their POS. However, this proved unsuccessful because the phone system lacked unique features or advantages over existing standalone phone systems, highlighting the need for any new product to be genuinely better and not just integrated. -BUSINESS IDEA- 5. Employee and Guest-Facing Products.[YouTube Link:Recognizing the various stakeholders in the restaurant ecosystem beyond just the owner, Toast developed products aimed at employees and guests, such as scheduling apps for employees and direct ordering apps for guests. While these products had potential, they faced challenges because Toast's core competency was in serving restaurant operators, not consumers or employees. This highlighted the importance of focusing on products within the company's core expertise and understanding the needs and capabilities of the target user.

Therefore, a platform for developing AI assistants that is agnostic to a specific toolset and prioritizes the most widely used tools in the market is needed. -BUSINESS IDEA 3- **General Purpose Humanoid Robotics.**[YouTube Link: The speaker believes that the field of robotics is ripe for major breakthroughs.

Sidetrip AI.Sidetrip AI is a new business idea for an app that helps Tesla drivers discover and explore interesting places along their road trips.
