Happy Sunday and a very warm welcome to all the new subscribers! I’m thrilled and honored to have you as readers and truly appreciate your thoughts and feedback 🙏. Each edition of 3 Things will contain a dive into 3 rabbit holes I’ve found myself going down recently. Subscribe to get each week’s edition straight to your inbox and if you enjoy it, please share (I suck at self-promotion so can use your help)! This past week I’ve been thinking a lot about:
Elaine, great job as always and you have some particularly good ideas this week. I still think there should be a companion site (airtable, notion, shared Google Sheet) where your readers can add startups that solve all or part of your prompt. For instance, 'Move Concierge' is https://www.allconnect.com/ + Task Rabbit, and 'Shark Tank for Food' is close to Shark Tank now (they have a majority of deals in the CPG space for the last few seasons), but I can see this happening with Firstlook.vc + Stonks.
+1 on the move concierge idea. I knew the founders of moveline.com back in the day. They used facetime to scale a "digital inventory" of your house to provide you with quotes from movers. They would also be your customer service agent along the entire move, but I think they still had issues with working with moving companies (notoriously hard to work with). I think this could be launched by 1 hustler in a very specific locale (ex. moves from Los Angeles to Las Vegas) in order to get word of mouth and a flywheel going and then expand and automate with software.
