A live list from our database

Most online business idea lists are written in an afternoon and never change. This one is a view onto our database. Each row is an idea a host or guest described on a podcast episode, filed under one of six online categories, with the show, episode and date attached. The list grows as new episodes are processed and as pages are released each week.

Use the filters above the list to narrow it. Pick a category, a podcast or a year, or search for a word such as "newsletter", "marketplace" or "course". The results are rendered on the server, so every filter is a plain link you can bookmark or share.

How the list is built

  • We read episodes of My First Million, The Koerner Office, The Side Hustle Show, The Startup Ideas Podcast and In The Pit with Cody Schneider.
  • Each idea is extracted from the transcript and filed under one business category.
  • This page includes the categories that are delivered online: software, e-commerce, media, education, marketplaces and subscriptions.
  • An idea appears here only after its own page has been released and has enough written detail to be useful. Thin rows are left out rather than padded.

The category is our label, not the host's. Treat it as a way to browse, and open the idea page to see the original framing.

What you can do with the CSV

The download has the same rows as the filtered table you are looking at (all categories, all shows). Each row carries the idea title, a short description, the problem it solves, the category, the show, the episode title and number where we have it, and the URL of the idea page. Sort it, tag it, or load it into a notebook and add your own columns for effort, market size and fit.

If you use the data in your own writing or research, please link back to this page.

FAQ

Where do these online business ideas come from?

Each one was described on a business podcast episode. The row names the show and episode so you can listen to the original conversation.

Are these proven businesses?

Not necessarily. Some are things a guest built, some are things a host would build. The idea page says which, and the episode is the source of truth. We do not add revenue figures that were not stated.

How often is the list updated?

New ideas appear as new episodes are processed, and previously unreleased pages go live in weekly batches.
