Hallo, (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), My Little Opportunist!

Like Charlie Mungerās āinversionā principle, we believe that achieving success isnāt just about charging forward; itās about understanding the pitfalls and finding ways around them.
This week, weāre diving into five promising business ideas that align with todayās needs: from reimagining urban street spaces as vibrant markets to pioneering fraud recovery services in the wake of pandemic losses. Each idea includes practical insightsāwho should consider starting, estimated costs, and current playersāto guide you on your journey. Take action where others see obstacles, and with the right plan, each downside can become your springboard to upside. Letās get started.
Could this be the biggest disruption to Smartphones in the past 15 years? š²
š„Heads up! There's a new disruptor in smartphones: Mode Mobile. Mode can turn your phone from a cost into an income source ā and investors are watching the launch of the companyās pre-IPO offering.1
š¤³Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitteās most recent fastest-growing companies list. Modeās flagship product EarnPhone, a budget smartphone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
š«“ Modeās Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share ā 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. Thereās still time to get in on Modeās pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares2ā¦ but only until their current raise closes for good.

Opportunity #1 - šļø Street Space Economies
Redesign bustling avenues into organized open-air markets - because chaos is apparently not a selling strategy.
Why now?: The urban population is increasing, and demand for flexible selling spaces is on the rise as traditional retail shores up against e-commerce. Urban informal economy could reach unprecedented levels in upcoming years.
