The Main Dish | Business Ideas
VetSight AI
The Future of Pet Diagnostics and Remote Care
🔦 The Pitch: VetSight AI blends machine learning with remote pet monitoring to give veterinarians faster, smarter, and more efficient ways to diagnose and follow up with patients. From AI-analyzed X-rays to real-time vitals via smart collars, it’s like giving every vet clinic a superpowered second opinion and a passive revenue stream.
What’s Cooking? (The Opportunity) 🍪
Vets are overloaded, pet parents are worried, and follow-up care is inconsistent. Enter VetSight AI, a SaaS platform designed to:
Instantly flag issues in X-rays, ultrasounds, and photos with AI-powered image recognition.
Remotely track pets’ vitals post-surgery or during chronic care using wearable collars.
Alert clinics when intervention is needed—cutting down on unnecessary visits and reducing emergency escalations.
Layer in telemedicine, allowing clinics to respond in real time with video consults.
Bonus? Vets can upcharge for premium packages while actually working less. That’s a win-win for business and tail-waggers alike.
Recipe (The Solution) 🧾
Go-To-Market Strategy:
Start local: demo at clinics, offer free 30-day pilot trials.
Attend veterinary trade shows & expos with real-time product demos.
Partner with veterinary practice management systems to integrate as a plug-in.
Startup Costs:
AI image analysis engine (build in-house or license via partnership).
Wearable hardware (collar sensors sourced via a reliable OEM).
Web platform development and cloud infrastructure (HIPAA-like compliance).
Initial marketing (branding, case study development, email outreach).
Check, Please (Monetizing) 💲
Main Revenue Streams:
SaaS Tiers: From basic scan analysis to full-suite telehealth and remote monitoring.
Wearable Device Sales: One-time purchase or monthly lease to clinics/owners.
Per-Scan Fees: For smaller clinics without subscriptions.
White-Label Integrations: Revenue share by embedding with vet EMR platforms.
Example Pricing:
$99/month basic tier
$299/month for premium (includes 5 wearable units)
$5 per scan for pay-as-you-go users
$50–$100 per collar device

Strange Brew | Lets Get Wierd
Rug Repair and Comedy
Rug Reborn Spa & Comedy Repair is a one-of-a-kind rug cleaning and restoration service that treats each rug like a high-maintenance celebrity checking into a quirky spa. We offer deep cleaning, repair, and even embroidered “tattoos,” all wrapped in a fun, story-driven experience that owners love to talk about.
Clients receive comedic updates like “Your rug just finished its eucalyptus steam therapy and is relaxing under a weighted towel.” The rug is picked up by a “rug ambulance,” returned wrapped in a plush robe, and accompanied by a comedic “spa report card.” You get clean, restored carpets—and a great story.
Why It Could Work
Unexpectedly Entertaining: No one talks about their rug cleaning service… until now. The comedic, spa-themed concept transforms a forgettable chore into a delightful experience people share with friends and post on social.
Premium Service, Premium Price: Restoration and repair of high-end rugs (Orientals, heirlooms) already demand higher prices. Add humor and personality? Now you’re charging for both function and flair.
Recurring Revenue: With seasonal "spa subscriptions" and patch-up checkups, customers keep coming back—and laughing all the way.
Hustle Hack
Doodle : Calendar Scheduling
Doodle is a simple yet powerful scheduling tool that helps entrepreneurs eliminate the endless back-and-forth of booking meetings. Whether you're organizing a client consultation, team sync, or podcast interview, Doodle lets everyone vote on the best time—without the email ping-pong. Bonus: it integrates with your calendar to avoid double-bookings and streamline your schedule like a pro.
The Big Score
Want to turn your idea into a full-blown launch that prints money? Launch breaks down Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula, a proven, step-by-step strategy that’s helped entrepreneurs go from zero to six (and seven) figures. It’s part marketing blueprint, part mindset shift and it’s pure rocket fuel for your next big thing. Or a large coca cola if jet fuel isn’t your thing.
