17 Free Business Ideas to Steal

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PLNT BURGER

FROM SPARE BEDROOM TO $108M

Most people with a spare bedroom use it to make a few hundred bucks on Airbnb.

Seth Goldman used his to spin up a $100M+ brand that would be sold to Coca-Cola.

Seth is the co-founder of Honest Tea, which he started out of his spare bedroom before ‘remote work’ was even a thing. Fresh off the heels of that success, he’s back with another dynamic business: PLNT BURGER.

With 13 profitable locations & strategic partnership with Whole Foods, PLNT BURGER’s plant-based patties are primed to take a bite out of the $72B fast food industry.

17 FREE, HALF BAKED BUSINESS IDEAS

The creative juices are flowing and I’ve got some business ideas to share. These ideas have bounced around in my brain but I’ve done little to no vetting on them.

And why would I, I’ve already got a future billion dollar newsletter brand that I’m building. If I add another incredible business people are going to think I’m greedy. 

Without further adieu, here we go!

• Meal Previews: Upgrade the QR codes in restaurants - instead of taking you to a PDF menu, pulls up augmented reality 3D renderings of the dishes that you can see right in front of you

• Streaming Rotator: Service that automatically rotates streaming services each month. So instead of paying for 5 streaming services all the time, pay for one each month. I have a friend that does this manually, and I imagine there are others out there like him

• Noise Paint: Clear, paint-like material that can reduce noise when applied to windows. Great for renters who want to limit noise but can’t replace the windows

• Paint n’ Clip: ‘Paint & Sip’ but for hair cutting classes. Great for dates & couples, and utilizes barber shop space which usually is underutilized at night. Can use mannequins & fake hair cause people might not want to mess with their hair

• PhotoFlip: Service that develops your live photos into a physical Flipagram

• Job Explorer: Hub of video content that shows what different occupations are like, lets people who aren’t sure of their career path understand their options better

• Bottled horchata: Popular drink that I’ve never seen bottled ANYWHERE. 

• Watch Bar: Sports bar but for non-sports events like the Oscars, The Bachelor, etc.

• Karaoke Helper: Algorithm that ingests your Spotify playlists and comes up with the perfect karaoke songs for you

• AI Product Testers: Tests out your software/website/product and gives feedback for cheaper than actual humans

• Silk Capital: Brick & Mortar store that sells silk everything. People like silk pajamas, bedsheets, etc but there’s no one store that has an authority on silk yet 

• Candle Capital: Same thing for candles. Yankee Candle is for old people and they’ve had zero innovation. There are really cool candles on etsy/TikTok but no one place that sells a physical marketplace of them. 

• #Deleted: Dating app that’s free to download, $250 to delete. So the service only gets paid if it works. 

• AI Floor Plans: Service that automatically stitches Zillow pictures together to render a floor plan. Takes the guess-work out of it for potential buyers

• AI Song Matcher: Type in a prompt for exactly how you’re feeling (ie, sad because my day 1 subscriber left me for another newsletter), and it uses AI to find the perfect song for you 

• Sleep Setup Pros: There are now podcast setup pros, but what about sleep/waking up pros? They would get you set up with timed auto-rising curtains, pillows shaped exactly for your body, etc.

• AI NetWorker: AI that connects to your LinkedIn so that you can ask it questions about your network (Do I have any 1st or 2nd connections that work in merchandising at big box retailers?)
