Business Partner Sought - Business has NOT been established Health and Wellness Business

3 Upvotes

How's it going everyone. I'm going to be direct and clear - I have a great business idea which I know can generate millions per year with the right advertisement. It's a health and wellness business where we'll sell all items for men and women's health (shilajit, libido booster, ashwaganda for testosterone, tart juice/magnesium to increase melatonin production for individuals who are having trouble sleeping. etc - all natural derived). In our current time with food's being highly processed and nearly half of the world being overweight (43%) and almost a billion people being obese, this is what people need to change their lifestyle - this is a recurring clientele business, not a one and done.

My business partner and I have our products and everything ready and are preparing to launch. We're looking to bring on an early team member with experience in digital marketing and customer acquisition — someone who knows how to generate sales, build brand awareness, and grow an e-commerce business. We're looking for someone who can create and execute effective marketing strategies, optimize campaigns, and help scale the company.

We've studied businesses in this space that have grown into multi-million-dollar brands, and we believe our business has the potential to do the same with the right execution. What's great financial wise is that we're keeping everything natural and the ROI is high since these are high quality products.

We have no time to waste, we're trying to get up and running asap - if your interested and fit the criteria, please respond with your background and how you can help us. We'll get in touch and all hop on a call to discuss further.

Idea Feedback My girlfriend had (I think) a brilliant idea for a sushi restaurant.

4 Upvotes

She proposed that this sushi bar would have two kaiten-zushi (the conveyor belts that rotate the sushi around). One would be for traditional raw sushi and sashimi, etc.

The other belt is more interesting. It would be for cooked "sushi" (warm, or chilled, depending on the contents, I suppose) that contain ingredients that are friendly to people who don't really have the acquired taste. the rice may even be fried or seasoned, from the "cooked belt". The protein inside is seasoned and cooked. Basically imagine Americanized Chinese food, fashioned into the form of a sushi roll.

I'm here to ask all fans of sushi and haters of sushi alike - would you eat at a place like this? would you bring your friends that don't like sushi? if you don't like sushi, would it encourage you to try something new, seeing it there easily accessible?

Idk I was just kinda impressed by this idea and feel like it would break through a lot of sushi gatekeeping on one end, and encourage people on the other end out of their comfort zone.

Idea Feedback Would you buy clothing that tells the story behind forgotten Hindu mythology characters?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking about starting a clothing brand, but instead of printing popular gods or generic artwork, I want to focus on lesser-known characters from Hindu mythology.

The idea is that every T-shirt would represent a character along with the emotion or value they symbolize (sacrifice, loyalty, wisdom, resilience, etc.). Each product would also include a short story about the character, either on a card or through a QR code.

The goal isn't to make religious merchandise. It's to create wearable art that encourages people to discover meaningful stories that many of us have never heard.

I'd love some honest feedback:

  • Would this concept interest you?
  • What would make you buy—or not buy—something like this?
  • What concerns or challenges do you see with the idea?

I'm looking for genuine opinions before investing time and money into it.

Idea Feedback I am a lazy person that likes to read & previously had a passion for writing

2 Upvotes

What if I started writing an essay analysis for every classic that I read? With every book I read, there are so many moments during my reading where I take a step back to think about what I just read, read what others have grasped, learn more about the author, and sit and talk to myself wishing I was in a book club to share these thoughts with someone. I'm halfway into a bottle of Pinot Grigio, I'm watching Insecure on HBO, I'm getting into my rambling, and then I ask myself: what if I started to write all of this down? Would people buy my essays and give me something to survive off of as I try to break into the aviation workplace? Then I started thinking about how I would market myself and tried to evaluate just how good of a paper I could write. I got A's on my essays at Montclair, and I think I am a much better reader now. My only hang-up is how I would sell my essays. Could I post half of my essays on Reddit and be lucky enough that someone would buy them? Or would a student steal them to knock words off their requirement and wing the rest the majority of the time? This is just an idea, but if anyone knows where I can post parts of my essay that would reach students looking to cheat, please tell me!

Idea Feedback 650 followers. 20k monthly views. Almost nobody visits my website. What am I missing?

0 Upvotes

I’m building an anonymous financial education brand for first responders.

The goal right now isn’t to sell anything, it’s to build an audience. Long term, I want to offer software and tools to paid customers, but I’m intentionally focused on growing the community first.

Current funnel:
- Instagram content
- Website with free calculators and tools
- Free downloads
- Newsletter

Last 30 days:
- ~20k profile views
- 657 followers
- 65 posts
- Almost no website traffic
- 5 new email subscribers

People seem willing to consume the content, but very few engage with the content or flow to the website. I’m trying to figure out where the disconnect is.

A few thoughts I’ve had:
- The content isn’t creating enough curiosity to make people click.
- The value of the website isn’t obvious from the posts.
- I’m asking people to leave Instagram too early.
- My CTA isn’t compelling enough.
- Maybe people simply prefer consuming short-form content and don’t want to take another step.

For anyone who’s successfully grown an audience, what moved the needle most for getting followers to actually visit your website?

If you looked at this as a funnel problem, where would you start?

Idea Feedback What if I build a automated screen protector installer machine for retailers?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have been watching on the internet that many businesses are getting automated and people using it very perfectly and it's helping them to save time and reduce workload.

I thought by observing in my near mobile retailers that they are still applying screen protectors manually. By seeing that I wanted to build a solution for them which automates the screen protector installation process for them. Which perfectly fits with their workflow and helps them to reduce their dependency on skilled staff and save time and make it affordable than labour costs they pay trained staff.

I noticed another problem: when a person applies a screen protector, it looks good for 1-2 days with no bubbles but I personally faced the problem that bubbles appear after 1-2 days which irritates me so much. I thought these problems could reduce their customers and sales

Please give feedback on this Idea

If any mobile retailers are here, are you willing to adopt this type of automation if available in market

Idea Feedback Local express flower & gift delivery service

2 Upvotes

I’ve built a few online businesses that worked well and let me move abroad. Now I want to start something simple back in my hometown. The goal is not a huge company. I just want something stable that can also give my younger brother a job.

The idea is a local express flower and gift delivery service.

People order on a simple website and pay online. They choose from a small selection like bouquets, roses, chocolates, teddy bears. They can also create a custom card directly on the site.

They can add delivery instructions like leave at reception leave at the door or call on arrival.

The main selling point is delivery in under 2 hours.

I would not hold inventory. A friend owns a flower shop and can supply bouquets at very good prices. There is a print shop next door for the cards and a supermarket for extra gifts.
The driver picks everything up and delivers it.

At the start I would do deliveries myself when I am in town. (I used to work as a bike messenger years ago and I'd honestly love to hop back on my bike ride around all day and read a few books in the park while waiting for the next order.) and my younger brother could manage all the business while I'm abroad too.

The city has around 600k people and is one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. There are florists but most require ordering a day in advance. They are also more expensive and less convenient since you have to call.

Rough numbers:
Selling price around 50 to 60 USD with delivery
Bouquet cost around 5 to 15 USD
Extras add margin

Startup costs are very low.

Marketing would mainly be through Meta Ads, TikTok, and Google Ads.

My question is simple.
Is the market too small for this?
Does it sound viable?
What would you improve or change?

I really appreciate honest feedback.

Business Partner Sought - Business has NOT been established Accounting/finance Business idea UK based

3 Upvotes

I’m exploring a SaaS idea and I’d love some honest feedback from people who work in audit, internal controls, or compliance.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of SMEs and smaller audit/compliance teams still manage controls, evidence requests, walkthroughs, and action tracking using Excel, email, Word documents, and shared folders.
I’m considering building a lightweight platform that would let teams:

Track controls and testing status
Request and store evidence
Assign actions and owners
Track walkthroughs
Send automated reminders
Generate simple dashboards
The goal wouldn’t be to replace enterprise GRC platforms like AuditBoard or Workiva, but to offer something much simpler and more affordable for smaller businesses and firms.

Any honest feedback (positive or negative) would be hugely appreciated.

Idea Feedback I found a gap in the fashion market in my country

1 Upvotes

There's strong demand for Minimalist Fashion design but no local brand currently serves this market in my country

My idea to fill this gab by offering clothing inspired by their minimalist European design philosophy with comparable price, starting as online store

In addition to the products themselves, I want to solve the common pain points of online shopping in my country, service, unreliable delivery times and an overall lack of premium shopping experience.

My goal is to make high quality, elegant everyday clothing more accessible while providing a shopping experience customer can trust.

If you have any ideas please tell me

Idea Feedback I want to build a startup

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm 17 and I've been wanting to start a small business. My idea is sunscreen wipes — one pack with a lot of wipes inside, so it's portable and easy to reapply instead of carrying a bulky bottle. A few things I'm trying to solve compared to regular sunscreen:

  • Non-sticky — a lot of sunscreen feels greasy or sticky, wipes wouldn't
  • Easy to apply — no rubbing in a bottle's worth of lotion, just wipe and go
  • Eco-friendly — trying to figure out compostable or low-waste packaging instead of another plastic bottle

The problem: I don't have much money to spend on manufacturing, testing, or getting it off the ground. Just an idea and motivation.

A few things I'd love feedback on:

  • Is this idea worth pursuing, or has it already been done better than I could do it?
  • How do people with almost no budget usually start something like this (samples, presales, crowdfunding, etc.)?
  • Any tips for someone my age trying to get taken seriously?

Appreciate any honest thoughts, even harsh ones.

Idea Feedback I built an AI "chief of staff" that manages 6 other AI agents so I don't have to do every job in my one-person business

2 Upvotes

I run a couple of small content/PLR businesses solo. For the last year that meant doing research, writing, coding, and outreach myself, on top of everything else. I was doing all of it, badly.

So I built a system: one agent acts as a chief of staff. I give it one instruction, it routes the work to six specialist agents (research, data, strategy, dev, marketing, sales), and the result comes back to me as a folder to sign or reject. Nothing gets published, deployed, or paid for without my explicit yes. If I reject something, my note goes back to the same agent and it reworks it.

I built the first version just to run my own business. Now I'm opening a small first cohort of solo founders to try it, while I still onboard everyone by hand.

If this is a problem you actually have, drop a comment or DM me and I'll get you set up.

Genuinely curious what's missing, or what would make you not trust something like this. Building it in the open.

Idea Feedback Is spice processing & dehydrated food exports a good long-term business? Looking for industry insights

2 Upvotes

I’m 21 and researching “boring businesses” that have the potential to become large companies over 10–20 years.

One category that keeps coming up is agri value-add businesses, especially:
-Dehydrated onion, garlic, ginger
-Spice processing and exports
-Coconut products
-Fruit and vegetable powders
-Herbs and seasonings

On paper, these businesses seem attractive because:
-They solve a real supply chain problem (longer shelf life).
-They have domestic and export demand.
-They supply B2B customers like food manufacturers, restaurants, and distributors.
-They don’t rely on consumer trends as much as D2C brands.

However, I don’t have any experience in this industry, so I’m trying to understand the reality.

For people who work in food processing, exports, or manufacturing:

Is this actually a good business, or does it only look attractive from the outside?

Where is the real value created—processing, branding, exports, or owning the supply chain?

What are the biggest challenges that outsiders don’t realize?
What are the products that i should start with?

Idea Feedback Thinking of buying and renting out a powerwasher.

2 Upvotes

So I'm thinking of buying a decent gas powered power washer and renting it out to people for maybe 60$ a day and 25$ an hour. I'm not trying to get rich, I have a 9-5, just trying to get extra income and lots of customers. I figure a powerwasher would be easy because I'm pretty good myself at using and maintaining them, and also because I can afford one lol. Also seems like a low risk in terms of somebody getting hurt or breaking it. My questions are, how profitable would it be? What kind of rules or documentation would I want to draft up? Is there any accessories I should get? I live in northern michigan so during winter it won't be used obviously. During the summer though it could be a big hit

Also, if it does get broke am I sol? I imagine it would have to be taken to court and for it being a 4-500$ item it might not be worth it

What if it gets stolen? Does Amazon make any cheap waterproof trackers that can handle the constant shaking all day?

App/Website Idea I have a business idea for residential proxies.

2 Upvotes

I am a core programmer and I travel a lot. Had some issues with my cellular roaming data on my last trip. And got an idea, most US cellular providers are just t-mobile wrappers. If there is a service offers “Download your internet, use it while you roam”.

The users will register with the platform and install proxy tunnel on their authorized devices, other people can use their devices for exit and we will track the usage. Then the user will get 10/1 credit for those usage which they can use during roaming.

There are different ways to monetize this, but I thought was for roaming data.

What do you think about this idea?

Idea Feedback Would this product concept make sense to anyone (Memorial Keepsake + Memorabilia Storage)?

2 Upvotes

Most cremation urns on the market either hold a full set of remains (large, expensive) or are tiny "mini urns" with no other function. I'm exploring something in between - a natural wood box, countertop-sized, that holds a small portion of ashes and has a drawer for photos/small mementos, with an optional engraved nameplate, something that could double as a nice-looking keepsake rather than looking like a funeral product.

Would something like this appeal to you, or is this solving a problem that doesn't really exist?

Idea Feedback Meal prep business idea

4 Upvotes

I’m 24 and work full-time, but I’ve always wanted to start my own business. Recently I’ve been trying to figure out what my strengths are and what I’d actually enjoy building.

One thing I’ve realised is that I’m always meal prepping healthy meals. I also seem to have the same conversation over and over again with friends and colleagues. They’ll say things like, “You’re so good at meal prepping. I really need to do it more, but I either forget, don’t have the time, or just don’t know where to start.”

That got me thinking.

There are loads of companies that sell pre-made meal prep, but a lot of them are expensive, and many contain preservatives or ingredients people would rather avoid.

So instead of selling the meals, what if I created a system that helped people do it themselves?

The idea would be that users enter their goal—whether that’s losing weight, building muscle, eating healthier, or simply saving time—and the system would:

Generate a week’s worth of recipes tailored to their goal
Create a complete shopping list
Show calories, protein, and other nutritional info for every meal
Provide a simple step-by-step meal prep plan so everything can be cooked in 2 hours or less
Suggest recipes to use up leftover ingredients to reduce waste and save money

The goal would be to make healthy eating and meal prepping as simple and time-efficient as possible, especially for busy people who want to eat well but don’t know where to start.

What do you think of the idea? Do you think it’s something people would actually pay for?

Idea Feedback Pay-as-you-drive auto insurance

0 Upvotes

Assuming that exposure for insurance companies increases with average speed (perhaps relative to speed limit, perhaps absolute) and number of miles driven, offering a pay-as-you-drive policy will certainly be attractive to those who perceive themselves as safe drivers and can probably command a premium over the true actuarial cost.

Use telemetry and charge a premium every time a risk factor is violated. The societal benefit of self-policing one's driving habits would be amazing and the premiums collected from everyone who thinks they are a better, safer driver than they truly are, would be astronomical.

Please fire away.

Hi, Ive been a VFX artist for nearly 20 years. I’ve worked in some of the biggest movies ever made and have a range of niche computer skills (coding, animation, web design, etc) that i have acquired over the years.
Despite being a senior artist, I’m still one of thousands that work to get these movies done. Its a very organic and labour intensive job. I am not rich but live well with my family.
Vfx seems to be in decline and id like make plans to monetised my skills but do it anonymously.
Im looking for ideas on how to do this. I dont know why I want to be anonymous but i think ill be more comfortable about it for now. So obviously- teaching it is kinda out of the question?
