International movies platform Problem: Watching international films is especially difficult. This is problematic because there are thousands of movies I can’t watch online. Did you know that Bollywood (the film industry in India) and Nollywood (the film industry in Nigeria) are both large than Hollywood by film volume? Solution: An international movie platform for people to watch international films. Given the success of Parasite (an international film made in Korean by a Korean team) last year in the global film circuit, this type of business would play off more global trends. Since the combined revenues and volume of non-US films are larger than Hollywood, this business would tap into an untapped market that is being neglected by larger content-producers and distributors today like Netflix. In 2015, Fortune Magazine’s Jake Bright wrote about Nollywood. Explaining that: By 2009, Nollywood had surpassed Hollywood as the world’s second largest movie industry by volume, right behind India’s Bollywood. And in 2014, the Nigerian government released data for the first time showing Nollywood is a $3.3 billion sector, with 1844 movies produced in 2013 alone. Earlier this year, Nollywood Producer Kunle Afolyan reached an exclusive Netflix distribution arrangement for his latest film, October 1. This adds to the 10 Nollywood related titles already on Netflix and the U.S. media company’s recent $12 million movie rights purchase of Nigerian novel Beasts of No Nation, to star Idris Elba. And many observers believe that the global reach of African films could take off, led by video on demand (VOD) platforms and productions of Nigeria — the continent’s largest economy and most populous nation. One large player in the Nigerian streaming market is IROKOTV. They (and other African digital content startups) have received financial backing of $25 million from firms such as New York’s Tiger Global and Sweden’s Roko. Recently, however, IROKOTV laid off 150 members of their staff and seem to be disinvesting from Africa; thus, leaving more space for opportunity.

Ultimate shopping The first problem I wanted to share is getting actual information about goods prices at the nearest supermarkets. A lot of shops do this already. We'll try to go further. What if we're interested in a specific set of products, and we want to track their price? Also, it would be interesting to see the price dynamics. So, our platform's first main feature is the possibility to subscribe users to specific products to notify them about price changes, discounts, or coupons available. How many times did you get poor service or goods? If it didn't happen, you're lucky. The problem here is leaving a review, thus other people can adjust their plans to get the best service and goods. If you leave feedback in a shop, and the next day you buy a spoiled fish, then the case repeats a few times, then leaving feedback there doesn't work. What if we have a review system where verified(ones who buy there regularly) customers can leave feedback about goods and services? That's the second feature of the platform. Later we might connect delivery businesses. Therefore users have one place where they can buy goods and be sure the service will be excellent. These are 2 different problems. I don't think it's worth building a whole thing initially. Try to deliver the most important one. For example, an independent supermarkets review system at <choose your region>.

Work chat team building There are many tools for Slack, Teams, etc. where you can play quiz games with colleagues, or guess a song. More and more people become remote workers and the trend to communicate and know better folks you work with is getting stronger. Though there are many tools for that, it would be great to have one that helps teams. For example, there would be different games, questions to know everyone better, topics suggestions so you can talk like in an office kitchen, etc.

So it can create explicable diagrams why you're explaining concepts and others may see a visual part while you're not busy with the tool itself.
