What business would you start that takes more than 2 years to validate but takes basically no funding?

With UBI I’d be happy if my new business made 50% the money I need for my lifestyle because the UBI could provide the rest. I’m confident I could start a business that does that. But what it would validate would be that the business would not be sustainable when the UBI disappears.

So by “business” I mean a UBI subsidized hobby, basically.
