    Social Arbitrage Trading In Crypto?

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    For those that don't know, social arbitrage trading is looking at popular trends and current events on social media to find trading opportunities. Crypto seems like an excellent candidate for this style of trading, since the gains can be massive during a pump. I've seen it myself with SHIB, and...

    Creating a SaaS around a very simple idea?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Quick post just asking for feedback. Let's say I have a very simple idea for a SaaS product, something that could be solved with a spreadsheet (albeit ugly). The SaaS of course would be able to be expanded upon to add some features but not much as to not add too much bloat. Is it worth...

    Roast My Idea: Aggregator for open-box and returned products

    IDEA 
    Lots of "open box" products are returned lightly used or not even used at all. Technically, since the product was opened, the seller can't sell it as new anymore, so they may mark it down pretty substantially to get it off the shelf. Of course, stores like Best Buy and Walmart make it easy to...

    Am I a Fastlane failure to want to go back and finish school?

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Being Unscripted is knowing when it's time to go for it and start a business, but I also think it's knowing when it's not the right time too. A couple years ago I was going to school for Mechanical Engineering and ended up flunking out due to a lack of motivation, discipline, and the fact that...

    Gold & Silver Megathread

    INVESTING 
    Thought I’d start a thread about precious metals investing with everything going on. Are precious metals safe right now? Do you prefer gold or silver? Is gold overpriced? Is silver underpriced? Where do you see gold/silver going I’m the next ? Should we buy ETFs over physical? What...

    Rapid Launching A Household Cleaning Product

    EXECUTION 
    Long story short, I came up with a cheap product idea that I think could be a hit. I've already ordered some materials for a prototype and I'm going to make a couple and test them out. Normally you would want to validate the idea before creating a prototype, but the prototype will only cost...

    The Next Big Value Skew: "Made In USA"

    One of the silver linings of this pandemic/economic blowup is that finally, we are shining a light on the weaknesses of globalism. Having to rely on other countries for cheap labor and imports has made us vulnerable during a time of crisis like we've just seen. Because of this, I believe that...

    How To Negotiate A Patent Licensing Deal?

    PEOPLE 
    I'm thinking about hitting up a company for a licensing deal on one of their patents. It's a very thorough patent and I don't see any way around it. I could see maybe making a couple of additions to their product but not enough to bypass the patent law. Does anyone have experience with this...

    [C0VlD-19] Forgiveable SBA Loans For Small Biz and Freelancers

    HOT! 
    Just a heads up, the stimulus bill includes $10 billion in grant money and loans to small businesses and self-employers. If I read it correctly, you can get a $10k min GRANT even if you’re denied for the SBA loan. The SBA loans max out at $10 million I think, and are FORGIVEABLE when spent on...
