Been thinking a lot about startup ideas recently as part of @thegeneral1st's Requests for Startups briefings.
Here are a few ideas I genuinely believe could become billion-dollar businesses:
Here are a few ideas I genuinely believe could become billion-dollar businesses:
1/ Decentralized credit scoring (idea by @angelatytran)
Consumers rely on antiquated, expensive, insecure platforms. What could this process look like on-chain?
- No single point of failure,
- True anonymity,
- Transparency around the factors that influence a rating.

2/ The climate operating system (by @VinIyengar)
A SaaS product to manage all aspects of climate risk, energy usage & carbon emissions.
As managing CO2 emissions and energy usage becomes more critical for all enterprises, could climate become a core function within companies?

3/ US Pinduoduo (by @TurnerNovak)
A shift from supply-first (how much can we produce) to demand-first (how much do we need to produce) is underway.
Social buying encourages consumers to team up, order in bulk and receive discounts ➡️ less supply chain waste and lower prices.

4/ Staking creators (by @thejerrylu)
As a fan, you want to be able to signal your support, possibly benefit from it. And creators need capital.
A platform that allows fans to stake creators and capture some of the upside sounds alluring. How close is @Bitclout_?

5/ Mint for security (by @nanduanilal)
Everyone now has a myriad of online accounts, with different passwords, devices, and levels of security.
What would a product look like that easily gave you the ability to view all of your accounts and the dependencies between them?

6/ Unified health OS (by @graceisford)
Fitbit for fitness, Oura for sleep, Whoop for strain - there's a sea of trackers monitoring different aspects of our health.
What if there was a product that ingested data from all devices, providing a snapshot of your overall health?

7/ From Landlord to Bank (by @sydneypaige10)
A peer-to-peer rent-to-own that could help people become mini-banks by making the rent-to-own model easy & transparent.
The renter would be given a seamless way to purchase a property they have already invested in by renting it out.

8/ Ridiculously easy vendor management for global SMBs (by @aashaysanghvi_)
As SMBs embrace digital tools to run operations, software that enables supplier and vendor management is needed.
A solution could include billing, payments, contract management and supplier performance.

9/ Healthcare ITA (by @julesyoo)
Scheduling in healthcare is a mess. Each provider uses various systems and no one has a good view into the appointment capacity of a provider network.
The solution? A real-time API for doctor capacity to facilitate efficient appointment booking.

10/ Twilio for documents (by @vcstarterkit)
Automating the creation of work’s most tedious paperwork. Think of the amount of time spent spinning up a boilerplate piece of legalese or banal process document.
Could such workflows be automated through Natural Language Processing?

11/ Consumer security for the digital era (by @jbrowder1)
Security threats have shifted in the past decade.
From online harassment and extortion to monitoring your safety during a date, there is a huge opportunity for a horizontal, security company to keep people safe online.
