I talked about my goals with them and they asked some good, probing questions. They are impressed with the Amazon business, especially since it has no capital requirements and just generates cash.<br />
<br />
One of them wants to partner again on something new. It is something like a concierge service for planning and coordinating a very specific high end travel experience. Since he already has another related business he has the local knowledge and can source the manpower and vendor relationships. I would handle running the operations, the marketing, and the tech.<br />
<br />
The ticket item per sale is very high and has a high variance - usually between $10-40k, and the total market is over ~3b USD annually and is seasonal. It's unclear what the working capital requirement might be, because customers pre-pay, but you also need to book inventory in advance for high-season. Competition is fragmented and not very modern. There is no real online experience.<br />
<br />
This would be a lot of work and hustling and there is a ton to learn, since I know pretty much nothing about this industry.<br />
<br />
I came away not ready to commit to anything seriously, but wondering what is the best way to validate this idea and how I should compare it to other options I have. <br />
