Build a platform to teach people about a sport you like (Basketball)
I’d build a platform that makes learning basketball simple, structured, and fun — especially for beginners who often struggle to find credible, step-by-step guidance. Unlike advanced training apps like HomeCourt or DribbleUp, this would focus on accessibility and motivation through interactive tutorials, guided skill progression, and gamified tracking. Over time, it could layer AI feedback, social challenges, and coaching features. Success would be measured by the percentage of users completing skill levels each month, supported by strong engagement and retention. The vision is to help anyone, anywhere, fall in love with the game by bridging theory, practice, and community.
Build LinkedIn for Students
I’d build a student-first networking platform that makes early career building approachable, structured, and opportunity-driven. Unlike LinkedIn, which can feel intimidating to students with limited experience, this would focus on showcasing skills, projects, and interests through guided profiles, peer and mentor connections, and curated internship opportunities. Over time, it could layer AI career coaching, learning paths, and virtual networking events. Success would be measured by the percentage of students connecting with at least one mentor or opportunity within their first month, supported by strong engagement and retention. The vision is to help every student confidently build their professional identity and network before they graduate.
Build Spotify for Restaurants
I’d build a platform that personalizes how people discover and experience restaurants — essentially “Spotify for dining.” Instead of static reviews like Yelp or Zomato, this would offer mood-based, ML-powered recommendations, curated “restaurant playlists” (e.g., best brunches, hidden gems), and social features like Dining Wrapped or friend “Blends.” Restaurants could engage users through loyalty programs, targeted offers, and in-app reservations. Success would be measured by engagement (playlist interaction, repeat visits), conversion (incremental bookings), and ad revenue from SMBs. The vision is to make dining discovery as personal, habitual, and shareable as finding your next favorite song.
