About this video

Sam and Shaan brainstorm various business ideas ranging from privacy-focused products like DuckDuckGo and VPN routers, to tax-advantaged solar panel financing, to hidden-in-plain-sight businesses like unclaimed baggage retail and hotel amenity recycling. They also discuss niche SaaS opportunities, income share agreement platforms, and real estate agent website builders, before wrapping up with a debate about whether investing is a meaningful use of capital and mental energy.

Key takeaways

• Look for ‘hidden in plain sight’ businesses by asking how everyday objects and services came to exist and who profits from them—examples include HR poster printing, unclaimed baggage retail, and hotel amenity recycling.
• Privacy-focused products can succeed in large, universal markets (like search or email) where even a small percentage of privacy-conscious users creates meaningful revenue, but struggle in niche categories.
• Identifying emerging trends and building simple platforms to serve them—like Twilio for SMS or Align for income share agreements—can create valuable businesses by removing friction from adoption.
• Shaan argues that once you have sufficient capital, investing mental energy in financial arbitrage becomes less fulfilling than directing capital toward companies and causes that create tangible impact or excitement.
