$100,000 to invest ( INVESTING 2020 ) | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam and Shaan evaluate three hypothetical business investments—Cron Art, Res Karat, and Lilia—and debate which deserves $100,000. They discuss the merits of marketplace models versus other business structures, then pivot to analyzing GoPuff, a fast-delivery service on college campuses that their guest mentions as an overlooked opportunity, examining its business model and profitability against comparable companies.

Key takeaways

• Shaan would invest in Res Karat because he believes fine art marketplaces are underserved by technology and the marketplace model is more defensible than lead-gen alternatives
• Sam prefers Cron because it can reach default profitability quickly with high impulse-buy demand, potentially reaching $10–30M in recurring revenue in 3–4 years with minimal capital, and faces acquisition interest from large productivity-focused companies
• The guest highlights GoPuff as a validated $163M-revenue model on college campuses that demonstrates the viability of fast-delivery logistics for impulse purchases, noting that even massive funding rounds (Softbank) don’t guarantee success in crowded markets
