5 Startups I’d Build If I Were in My 20s


Listen Later

I share 5 startup ideas that could be launched for under $500, particularly aimed at entrepreneurs in their twenties. Each idea requires minimal technical expertise to start and can be launched using existing platforms like Notion, Circle, Discord, or simple AI tools. These ideas can generate meaningful revenue while providing valuable learning experiences that might lead to bigger opportunities.
