Neer Sharma shared 6 startup ideas and the frameworks he would use to grow them:
1) Baby Fund: a JustGiving for parents to raise money that can only be invested into their kid’s future
• Crowdsource money from family/friends at baby showers• Invest only in index tracker funds• Could help solve the "can't afford kids" problem for millennials.
2) Anti-Spend: The app that gamifies saving money
• Track money you DON'T spend• Show future value of savings• Create dopamine hit from NOT buying• Growth hack: Tap into FIRE and minimalism movements on TikTok
3) Cold Turkey: Gamified app to help people quit vaping
• Real-time counter shows how long you've been "cold turkey"• Mini-games to distract during cravings• Social sharing for accountability• Potential to expand to other addictions.
4) Gold Stars: Gamification app for parents to motivate kids
• Think: "Starbucks app, but for kids"• Parents set tasks, kids earn stars• Unlock rewards at milestones (e.g. 100 stars = $10 Amazon item)
5) Long Live Research Inc: Personalized longevity research summaries
• Input your health concerns/family history• Receive summaries of relevant academic papers• Target the "don't die" community (e.g. Bryan Johnson fans)• Easiest to start, potentially most profitable.
6) Ayurvedic Products for the West: Rebrand Indian health products• Create algorithm-breaking packaging and content• Leverage TikTok Shop and influencer marketing• Key: Make it VISUALLY scroll-stopping for maximum algo impact!
