Hey! 👋

StartThis is a newsletter for current or aspiring entrepreneurs, startup-curious folks, or people that just generally like thinking about business ideas.

I’ve created StartThis because I have too many ideas to ever be able take action on all of them, and ideas deserve to be free. So hopefully these can aspire someone out there to go build something.

If even one of the ideas that gets put out there actually gets built, it’ll be pretty cool to have been a spark that got things going. I’d love to be an advisor, investor, or mentor to anyone who wants to run with an idea I share here.

StartThis is primarily ideas that I (or other contributors) would like to see in the world, but I’ll also share helpful content on ideation, innovation, or actionable trends that may help get your juices flowing.

Each idea shared goes beyond the elevator pitch to give at least a skeleton of a real, viable business plan - some possible marketing strategies, a revenue model, relevant trends or data points… something you can really sink your teeth into.

I hope it inspires you to go create something awesome!

Check out the first idea!
