Free $10M/year startup idea:
Who's creating the Kelley Blue Book (KBB) for startups?
KBB is the standard price guide for cars, raking in ~$230M in revenue/year.
They make $$ via targeted ads, lead generation, dealer services, data licensing, affiliations, and consumer product reports.
Imagine a KBB for startups:
1. Charge $50/month for detailed startup valuations.
2. Sell leads to investors & VCs.
3. License data to banks/financial institutions.
4. Ads from SaaS, legal, & marketing firms targeting founders.
5. Partner with pitch platforms & accelerators.
6. Paid membership for $5000/year for access to insights for PE funds, VCs etc.
7. Paid membership for $500/year for founders
8. Build a media business around it. Becomes the new TechCrunch with a more focus on cash-flow than VC.
Could easily hit $10M ARR in a few years.
