00:00 Intro
01:55 Startup Idea 1: Robot Lawn-mowing Service/Directory
17:54 Startup Idea 2: CPAP alternatives for Sleep Apnea
26:24 Startup Idea 3: Computer Vision for Small Biz
32:03 Startup Idea 4: Negotiating as a Service
36:48 Startup Idea 5: Sperm Freezing Made Easy
42:50 Startup Idea 6: Community Building as a Service
1) Robot Lawnmower Revolution
• Buy robot mowers, geofence yards
• Start a mowing company with ZERO labor
• ROI beats solar panels (6-12 month payback)
• Opportunity: Review site for mowers (affiliate $$$)
2) Sleep Apnea Gold Rush
• Apple Watch can now diagnose sleep apnea
• 80-90% of cases undiagnosed
• Opportunities:
a) Buy sleep clinics
b) DTC alternatives to CPAP
c) App using Apple Watch data
d) Financing for CPAP machines
• Sleep tech is about to EXPLODE
3) Computer Vision for Small Biz
• Mount an old iPhone in your store
• Get heat maps, customer behavior insights
• Identify repeat vs. new customers
• Enterprise-level tech now accessible to SMBs
4) The Ultimate Negotiator
• Most employees HATE negotiating
• Idea: Outsourced negotiation for EVERYTHING
• Houses, cars, software, office supplies
• Take a % of savings
5) Sperm Freezing Made Easy
• Older fathers = higher risk of complications
• Current process is awkward and clinical
• Idea: At-home kit, ship back with dry ice
• ZERO Google Ads competition (for now)
6) Community Building as a Service
• EO/YPO Forum model: Monthly deep discussions
• Build trust, solve problems, forge friendships
• Opportunities beyond just business groups
• "Secular church" concept
7) Bonus: Undiagnosed Illness Detection
• Smartwatches can detect more than sleep apnea
• AFib, hypertension, stress/anxiety
• Huge market for early, non-invasive detection
• The future of healthcare is on your wrist
