We are collectively the largest Shark Tank, /biz/ will happily tell you why YOUR business idea would and could never work out.


>TELL ME YOUR BUSINESS IDEA, if youve done anything to start it, and how much money you would need to make it happen.


I, and everyone else on /biz/, will tell you why it will all fall apart no matter how much money you get.

(i will post an idea or two if the thread is slow)

I have an idea for a niche porn site. I do have experience programming and operating websites so I have the skillset to get it going, I'm just unsure if theres a demand.

My idea was a site where straight guys are tricked into sticking sharpies and spoons up their ass. Itd be like people would offer them something like money in exchange for them doing it with a timestamp and theyd do it but get nothing in return.

I dont anticipate any real costs involved I just dont know how big the demand is for something like this.

They are like escalators, but in the size of a step stool. I will recycle used escalators from shopping centers going out of business because of Amazon, by cutting them up into smaller escalators roughly the size of step stools. This way, I am both a green company for government kick backs and piggy back on the bestest company in the world known as Amazon who can provide the supply and then distribute my product.

For them to work like that they would be quite bulky. Imagine a middle aged woman trying to get something off the top of her shelf and her stool just pushes her off the top. It will be a good addition to all those live leak videos of Chinese escalators eating people.

there is something like this already where you can get random people to do weird things on webcams, and people pay like $4 to see someone stick a needle through their nipple on cam, as well as normal sexual private webcamming.

I would share my ideas, but i'm afraid they will be stolen.

I'll share this though, I invented the mechanics of pokemon go, and even started a company trying to do GPS based collection game.


Another Idea of mine is self cooling beverage can.

Another is a story that you read toward an app while it responds to those words being read, showing a story.

I have many more but they are still being worked. on.

Hello Sharks,
My name is anon and my business will solve the problem of rising sea levels due to climate change.

What if there was a way to melt the ice caps and still have normal, regular old sea levels? Well, now there is!

Introducing the Sea Leveler! Now, we can suspend excess sea water above the ocean and enjoy pristine views of sea life as it swims into these transparent world savers! Simply anchor the patented Sea Leveler to the ocean floor. Next, make sure the Sea Leveler openings are below the surface of the ocean. Final step, just pump your excess sea water into the Sea Leveler and you're done! It's that easy!

So Sharks, who wants to get on pump it up with me, and together we can Level Up the Sea!

Index fund-like crypto platform but you invest in actual users who do their research and update the current holding % for each coin, and then the system buys/sells for all subscribers accordingly. A small fee goes to this user.

This would make crypto twitter faggots actually useful since you could just trust them and let them move your shit, and they would be inclined to make it work since they would gain from it.

Example: I log into the site, browse portfolios, see what my friends are riding, read about a guy that always goes into the right coins at the right time, subscribe to him.
Now my portfolio follows his to the %, he gains a little bit and I don't have to care about working for my money.

I started working on this but it's not like it's easy or I have the resources to pull it off soon.

>1. Fashion Branding Consultancy
I basically want to meet qt fashion designers and models, I have a few friends in this field so I understand it bretty gud. So already this is a bad idea... but...

I basically leverage my lib arts skills into creating content marketing for naive fashion designers, straight out of design school working on their first capsule collections. Mainly creating photography and videos and "PR pieces" that they can distribute online. Maybe I could form "strategic partnerships' with a roster of bloggers and instagrammers, but I want to focus more on the actual content side, not the PR side.

>2. Snarky Self-Help E-Books
Basically stuff with provocative titles 'How to suck slightly less' or 'Stop being a creep for 5 minutes and get laid'. I'm a very VERY fast writer and am a post-grad so I can at the very least fake some authoritative language. I figure this is low overhead since I reckon in one week I could easily smash out 10,000 words of content.

Not sure who my customer would be or my positioning.
