The Main Dish | Business Ideas
Link-Meet 📆
The no-click, no-paste meeting scheduler built natively for LinkedIn.
🔦 The Pitch: Ditch the link copy-paste game. Link-Meet turns every LinkedIn DM into a two-click booking experience, perfect for recruiters, SDRs, and business networkers. It’s Calendly, but made for how people actually schedule today.
What’s Cooking? (The Opportunity) 🍪
LinkedIn is where the convos start but not where meetings get booked. Link-Meet fixes that. It’s a browser extension and scheduling engine that injects real-time availability right into LinkedIn chats and profiles. No need to switch tabs or fight over time zones.
Highlights:
Instant inline calendar drop-downs in DMs.
Auto-detects time zone based on profile.
Bi-directional sync with Outlook, Google, iCloud.
Post-booking auto calendar invite with Zoom/Meet link.
Booking confirmation posted in chat: ✅ Booked for Thu 2 PM.
Recipe (The Solution) 🧾
MVP Stack & Features:
Chrome/Edge Extension (client-side DOM injection)
Calendar sync via OAuth (Google, Microsoft, iCloud)
Secure hosted backend for token storage & busy/free indexing
Mobile-responsive booking fallback page (for non-extension users)
Startup Costs:
Chrome extension & backend dev: $15–20K
Cloud hosting + calendar API: $300/month
Branding + site + onboarding flows: $3K
Launch budget (Product Hunt, influencer seeding, promo codes): $5K
Check, Please (Monetizing) 💲
Revenue Streams:
Free Tier: 1 link, 15 bookings/month (acts as viral loop).
Pro Tier: $9/user/month — unlimited meetings, custom types, CRM sync.
Team Tier: $18/user/month — round-robin pools, analytics.
Enterprise Tier: Custom — SSO, white-label, admin control.
Add-ons:
Sponsored “powered by” meeting pages (for Free users).
Referral revenue from video-call platforms.

Strange Brew | Lets Get Wierd
Midnight Munch
A glowing, reusable late-night snack capsule service that delivers surprise snack kits between 10 PM and 3 AM. Customers choose a vibe (Savory, Sweet, Spicy, etc.) and dietary needs but the specific contents stay secret. Delivered in a glowing insulated capsule, picked up the next morning, and restocked for reuse.
Each capsule is photo-worthy and vibe-matched (e.g., blue glow for “Chill,” red for “Spicy”), perfect for late-night cravings, gamers, party-goers, or insomniacs. Customers can add sleep bites or caffeine boosters, and a rotating “surprise toy” keeps every order playful and shareable.
The entire model is asset-light, leveraging local ghost kitchens for prep, gig economy riders for delivery, and low-cost reusable packaging.
Why It Could Work
Novelty Factor: Glowing snack capsules create instant FOMO and social media buzz—perfect for TikTok, Twitch, and Instagram.
No Decision Fatigue: Like a snack slot machine, people want to be surprised.
Smart Logistics: Capsule pickup the next day reduces waste and keeps operations clean.
Recurring Revenue: Capsule memberships waive fees, create exclusivity, and increase lifetime value.
High Margin with Low Overhead: Partner ghost kitchens + reusable packaging = strong margins without building infrastructure.
It’s snack delivery meets streetwear drop culture—with the added twist of glowing capsules and surprise contents..
Hustle Hack
Crisp: Message Well
If you're running a lean business but want to offer big-league customer support, Crisp is your secret weapon. It’s an all-in-one customer messaging platform that lets entrepreneurs handle live chat, email, Messenger, and even SMS in one shared inbox. You can automate responses, deploy a chatbot to qualify leads, and even co-browse with customers in real time. Bonus: It looks sleek and professional—no coding required.
Perfect for solo founders or small teams who want to feel like they have a full support squad.
