💡 Business Brainstorms 💡- My favorite ideas of the week
#1 💡
While alcohol is becoming less and less nicotine is having a comeback.
Even Einstein reportedly believed that Nicotine contributed to a calm and objective judgment.
But while there are thousands of “premium” options when it comes to consuming alcohol, all Nicotine pouches/gum options that exist currently feel low quality/cheap.
#2 💡
Like seriously… why is there no OnlineJobs.ph for other countries?
There are a few global ones like RemoteOK, WeWorkRemotely, DynamiteJobs etc.
But given the success of OnlineJobs.ph there is clearly demand for a platform that allows you to hire people in a specific geographical area.
Another successful example is JobRack for hiring talent from Eastern Europe.
#3 💡
True whether or not you raised funding.
Profit-first, for example, forces you to be scrappy and run lean.
It’s a cliche but when you start spending money on random stuff it starts slowing you down fast.
You will feel like you should use certain things only because you paid for them.
The more moving parts your stack has the more difficult to optimize and iterate.
#3.5 💡
Plumb is a no code AI app builder for lean product teams. Build, test, and ship complex AI pipelines with confidence. Go from idea to MVP in hours or days, not weeks or months.

#5 💡
I do believe that virtually everyone will be using an AI-powered information firewall.
Kind of insane that we allow algorithms that definitely do not have our best interests in mind to put stuff into our minds.
