I once tried to start a taxi business for dogs. Apparently dogs don’t really need to be a lot of places. Who knew?!?

    The taxi business for dogs is not bad. A slight modification that work well is a luxury dog courier. Their is a company that I heard of that offers rides in luxury vehicles to pet hotels, vets, etc.

    My stupid idea was a video game for blind people…

    I once had a college student that wanted me to sign an NDA for his machine he designed… turned out it was a perpetual motion machine.

    Business students should be required to learn basic physics. I didn’t sign the NDA.

    Similar to your post, I once thought of starting a dog rental service. You can pick up a dog, take it to the park, and play around for 2-3 hours. Then you return the dog and your couch is still intact.

    Bumble for dogs so you could find a best friend for your best friend. My dog is antisocial and a bit racist towards other breeds…

    Oh so many… reflective paint inside of semi truck tires so when a tire blew out, other cars could see the scraps & try to avoid it 😬 it was a random on the spot idea as I mowed over a lost tire on the freeway.

    Honestly I think your taxi business had potential to work OP. Did you undertake market research with dog breeders, kennels, associations for the blind etc, to learn what their specific problems and needs were?

    An app to SEND forgiveness to those that hurt you. When they open the forgiveness message, it require that they agree to turn their selfie camera on to capture the moment they are forgiven so that you can see if they look remorseful. Shamefully stupid. Worst part is we spent tons on the promo video but the more effective video cost 10x less than the bigger budget one. Having said all that, lots of lessons learned and wouldn’t change a thing.

    This is the thread I’ve been waiting for. I’d like to introduce you to “Milk Squeezies”. You know those little Mio water flavoring packs? Imagine having a flavor liquid to squeeze into your milk to make it taste like the milk left over at the bottom of your cereal bowl. It’s that, in varying cereal flavors.

    My friend and I came up with it when discussing the worst business ideas ever. Pretty sure coffee creamers now offer this…

    I had a business idea of cell phone battery pack rentals. Like having a network of battery packs to rent, the problem is I doubt the demand is high enough.
