Collection of 100+ profitable side-project ideas to inspire you

I’m obsessed with business ideas. Of course I realized I’d never get to them all so I do something similar to this — send them out.

As a competitor in the space I can’t resist tooting my own horn a little bit — I happen to also produce ideas of the unvalidated variety [0] and just crossed 1000ish subs and was pretty excited about it.

Startups FYI is kind of the inverse of what I do (the startups are validated, for the most part), so for the more adventurous reader, check out Unvalidated Ideas!

I can guarantee theres at least one great idea in the almost 120+ I’ve put out — I just don’t know exactly which one it is :)

I’m particularly proud of some readers that have taken an idea and run with it, like

Newsletters are off-topic for Show HN. It can be a regular submission instead. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

This looks like a straight up pyramid scheme. It’s a website/ newsletter about small startups for sale . I feel like this would stupidly easy to pump full of garbage for sale .

Often imitated, never duplicated — If you need external inspiration for starting a business your chance of success will tend toward zero.
