The problem it solves
Many entrepreneurs struggle with identifying the right niche, leading to wasted time and effort on unviable business ideas.
How it makes money
Charge a participation fee for the workshops or offer them as part of a larger consulting package for startups.
Skills you need
Strong facilitation skills, knowledge of various industries, and the ability to guide participants in discovering viable business opportunities.
The market, and why this works now
Eventbrite's recent integration with Zoom allows for hybrid workshop formats, making it easier to reach entrepreneurs remotely. A first-revenue move could involve promoting the workshops through r/Entrepreneur, targeting users actively seeking niche exploration. A significant constraint in the first year could be the need for extensive market research, which may require additional funding for access to industry reports and data analytics tools.
