6 Profitable Business Ideas You Should Start in 2022

About this video

Sam and Shaan explore a series of business ideas, starting with Milo, a real-time store inventory search platform that eBay acquired but abandoned, which they argue could be successfully relaunched. They then move into more speculative “drunk ideas,” including a branded waiting room experience for Zoom calls, an office supply company that adds personality to workplaces, a Discord property management agency, modular furniture designed to fit through doorways, and a humorous “haters as a service” concept that delivers motivational criticism to entrepreneurs.

Key takeaways

• Sam argues that successful companies acquired by larger firms often fail within them, presenting opportunities to restart them years later with fresh momentum and fewer organizational constraints
• Shaan proposes that the Zoom waiting room represents untapped real estate—with 1.7 billion monthly visits to zoom.com—where companies could build branded experiences and pre-meeting engagement similar to in-person office visits
• The hosts identify a pattern that early pioneers in emerging fields (like David Spinks in community management) are often correct about trends but too early to capitalize, suggesting timing and execution matter as much as vision
