All Opportunities

11 business ventures ranked for bootstrap execution. Each includes comprehensive execution plans, market analysis, and partnership models.

How We Rank Opportunities

Opportunities are ranked to help you start fast and minimize risk, balancing four key factors:

Speed to Revenue - How quickly can you generate first dollar? (7 days vs 180 days)
Customer Acquisition - How easy to find customers? (marketplace > warm network > cold outreach)
Bootstrap Readiness - How production-ready? (live platform > MVP > architecture only)
Investment Required - How much capital needed? ($500 vs $50K)

Why this matters: A $200K opportunity that takes 6 months and $30K investment may rank lower than a $60K opportunity that starts in 14 days with $1K investment—because you can prove the partnership and generate cash flow immediately.

Note: Revenue potential is factored in, but speed + ease often outweigh total dollars for bootstrap partners. See “Filter by Interest” below to find opportunities by specific criteria.
