Startup ideas from YouTube,
searchable in seconds

Start as agency (custom automation for clients), then extract repeating workflow into a product. Boring businesses (laundromats, dentists, campgrounds) are goldmine. n8n + Claude Code generates workflows for $6K each.

One long-form content (podcast/video) → auto-cut into clips, posts, newsletter, blog. 'Record on Riverside → Descript → Swell AI → clips + LinkedIn + Twitter.' Vertical niche tools win over generic.

Pick a platform with a huge following, solve their pain. WordPress plugins, Shopify apps, n8n templates. 'QuickBooks ODBC connector — since 1984!' Keywords obvious, customers findable.

'$145K/year subscription websites' — find a niche with enough audience and become the trusted brand. Starter Story: '$60K/month app in 2 months' via LinkedIn personal brand.

Launch SaaS via LinkedIn: write spicy posts (half agree, half disagree), CTA in comments → waitlist. By launch, 500-2000 people waiting. Validate via viral posts before building.

'Wealthfront doing $300-400M ARR — it's just Robin Hood for Canada.' Take a proven US product, localize for EU/LATAM/MENA. Or verticalize: 'Calendly for dentists.'

Viral loop through content creation: user makes something → shares → others see watermark → download. '$6M/year with AI apps.' 23 websites = $562K. Ship fast philosophy.

'Buying small businesses and using AI to automate 30-50% of operations.' RV Parks, laundromats, campgrounds. Really simple businesses stuck in the 80s. 'The thing prints cash.'

2026 trend: not chatbots, but autonomous agents. 'The future of AI and SaaS is agentic experiences.' ClawdBot: agent that self-deployed, started earning. SaaStr: 'We replaced our sales team with 20 AI agents.'

Hormozi: 'Build the self-licking ice cream cone — customers make creative that gets more customers.' Same hook, different background, A/B test everything. AI generates 50 ad variations from 1 winner.
