green / organic festival supplies

Are green (organic, fairtrade etc.) festival supplies the next billion dollar idea?

As a regular guest at a lot of festivals I recognise a new trend rising. Green camping, foodsharing, fair trade festival supplies, no trash areas even organic toilets. Festivals become more and more politic when it comes to the environment.

People who invest in a festival ticket, camping gear, organic food and alcohol supplies are willing to spend more money on more luxery. Especially if that luxury is camouflaged with the oraganic flag. So you can provide solar based tents with power supply, vegan organic BBQ food, organic confetti or anything else that are mean to help the world but basically just yourself.

Open your organic festival supply store on etsy and dawanda and become a billionaire.

I combined two billion dollar ideas: I upcycled a unicorn into a perfect festival toy. It's perfect to smuggle some shots into the festival ground)

Write me a message if you want one youself ;)

nursing robots

Are nurse robots the next billion dollar idea?

There are a lot countries which demography is changing fast. There are two directions. One is that the citizens getting younger and younger or that the society is getting older. Today we have a look at the second direction. 

Especially in Japan it appears that the society is getting older. That means that there is a growing need for elderly care. But what to do when the younger ones work in different fields and when there are not enough young people to care for the elderly? The answer is: nursing robots.

Either to help elderly at home ore in nursing homes robots are getting more and more involved.
The challenge is to create robots who have a friendly appearence and don't scare the elderly.

By know the elderly prefer human helpers. 

So that is your chance to jump in the robot business and create the perfect nursing robot and become a billionaire.

Vintage / Boho Second Hand

Are second hand vintage and boho shops the next billion dollar idea?

Thanks to the hipster the word "idividual" got a new meaning. But before I drift of in that typical hipster bashing I keep it short: a lot of people craving for vintage cloth and accessoires.

So use this information to start your own online-shop, flea market both or vintage store. Well you need some goodies and stuff to sell? Browse e-bay, yard-sales and your grandparents closet. Then you need an ironic slogan, hipster like design (just use some triangles and mustaches) and choose Helvetica as your corporate font.

Hipsters have money and they will throw it at you if you have some vintage stuff.

Can't image how thats gonna look like? Here is an example build with stuff from my closet and paint (yes, paint).

Sport trend - Hula Hoop

Which sport is the new super billion dollar idea?

After aerobic, yoga, zumba or crossfit - what will be the next sport trend that you will see in every magazin and tv ad? Especially in the beginning of every new year, new sport trends are popping up to fill the disire to fulfill the new years resolution.

I think it will be hula hoop. Your first thought might be "WHAT?" but hear me it is going to be huge. It is super fun to bring back the joy of hooping from childhood. Hooping is great to form your waist line and stomach. You don't need a fitness club membership, just bring your hoop to the park, living room or rooftop terrace. By now a bunch of hippies leading in that market. So there is still enough space for competition.

I, myself think about of opening a hula hoop course in Berlin. Let me know if you are interested!
You think that hula hoop is boring? Well have a look at this cool video:

Upcycling

Is upcycling the next billion dollar idea?

DIY is laaaame the next huge trend is upcycling. While you start from the scratch when starting a DIY project you already have stuff when you start upcycling. Basically you recycle different things in one new thing. 

You may think: how is that a billion dollar idea? Well, shared-conomy is a huge hype right now. There are a lot sharing communities and the rising awareness of our environment. And shabby chic is a permanent guest in every high prises furniture shop.

Individual = high price 

 

So if you are good with tools, get some inspiration and start some upcycling projects. Then get an etsy account and sell your stuff!

Here is an excellent example (of course it's mine) of an upcycled old tv which was turned into a bar. The chandelier is made of door hardware and a special light bulb.
