3 Business Ideas You Should Start in 2024 (ft. Pomp) (#524)

About this video

Pomp discusses his evolution from Bitcoin commentator to multi-business operator, shares lessons from legendary investors like Julian Robertson and Bill Miller on conviction and curiosity, and pitches several business ideas including Resi Club (residential real estate media), persistent patrol companies using computer vision for government revenue, and other emerging opportunities.

Key takeaways

• Successful investors like Julian Robertson and Bill Miller share common traits: extreme curiosity, willingness to make contrarian bets with conviction, and obsessive work ethic—they don’t just have ideas, they deeply research and act on them repeatedly.
• Pomp’s approach to building businesses is iterative and profitable-first: start small with low friction pricing, test the market quickly, and expand ambitions once product-market fit is proven, rather than raising large rounds with unrealistic expectations.
• Rebranding content creation as ‘content production’ alongside business operations isn’t a contradiction—Warren Buffett, Ben Franklin, and other successful operators have always been prolific communicators; the skill set of marketing and distribution compounds other business ventures.
• Differentiation often comes from breaking industry rules: Nikita Beiya monetized consumer social apps like mobile games rather than chasing venture-scale user numbers, and Brad Jacobs repeated the billion-dollar rollup playbook across multiple industries by understanding one repeatable model.
