Business Idea Matchmaker

For somebody who wants to run a business but has no particular idea. It matches capital, location, skills and time against business types that fit, with the real economics of each.
What a v1 does5 features
- Matched on capital, location, skills, hours and goals
- Real margins and typical owner earnings per type

The market
People pay reliably to learn how to run a business, and HoneyBook's 100,000 members show they pay to run one. Paying to validate an idea before starting is much less established. These are adjacent comparables rather than direct ones, and $19 a month should be read that way.

Why this audience
These viewers want to own a business and have not settled on which, which is why they keep watching different ones. The decision is genuinely hard and they are making it from anecdotes. Matching capital, location and skills against real economics is the analysis they are attempting informally.
Before it can launch
No licence, certification or data agreement stands between this and a launch — app-store review and an ordinary privacy policy aside.
How the pricing works
Sold to somebody who does not have a business yet, so it is bought on a personal card and priced like a consumer subscription even though the subject is business.
What it earns
Drag me Every figure recalculates as you go.
0.05% of 2M followers · capped at 50,000
Opens on the price this idea was costed at, $19.
1,000 paying — 0.05% of 2M followers — × $19 a month = $19,000 a month
Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.
