Dragons Den Business Ideas

[Don Johnson]

Have to do a presentation for uni of a new business idea / product / service, whatever it is, in sort of a Dragons Den type thing as part of a business enterprise module.

Only problem is everything I think of I google and it's already been done or bombed.

Anyone got any ideas, serious or not that they think could work?

Doesn't have to be golden but just give me something to show.

So far I have mused:

- A standardised qualifications website where everyone is listed with all their qualifications etc, sort of like a credit report website but that employers etc could access. For a fee.

- An app to find your car in a car park. Which I found out has been done.

- Airport creches for over here. Then when I googled it found out Dublin airport are getting one shortly.

I'm stuck.

Cupboards in your kitchen that you can lift the racks out of the dishwasher and put them straight in......

A towel with the word face on one end and ass on the other so you dont dry with those parts.....

Velcro straps on baby seat seatbelts so they stay on the sides when you put the child in and you're not forever hoking underneath them to find the bloody belts.

Mp3 doorbell. Imagine 'Smoke on the water' being played when someone rings your doorbell. You'd never get sick of that! 

As far as I'm aware, it hasn't been done.

If a man had a genuine brilliant idea do you think they would stick it up here for everyone to copy?

A bookies/casino in the airport. Ive seen this in Newcastle but nowhere else. Amount of people in airports with a few hours to kill.

Also think Paddypower missed a trick on valentines day. Was good football on and think he should have had a promotion where if u strike a 50 quid bet for example your better half gets a bunch of roses delivered. THat way we could have all lumped on Madrid to beat United or done an ante post for Cheltenham and it would have been justified

I'm toying with the idea of a website called "letters of complaint.com".

Around about 90% of old folk I know spend their time writing / emailing utililty companies / retailers/ builders etc with complaints.

I'm thinking if I get writers across these lands and then further afield to send their letter of complaint  to me (they are usually quite proud of them) I could  categorise them and upload them after redactment to a menu driven website. I think I would get plenty of hits from the olds looking for ideas on how to make and word the complaints.

People and companies would begin to get an idea of the problems other people were having and meanwhile companies looking to improve their image would pay me big bucks for advertising on my site

By the way this is mine and nobody else can be doing it now that I've said it.

Look at your own life. Is there anything you do, that could be made easier? Is there anything available to make it easier? Can you think of a way to make it easier? There you go.

I love the old Dragons Den and Shark Tank in the U.S
I think there is opportunity all the time to come up with an idea that could work.
The sport of Ice Hockey is 150 years old but goalies masks were only introduced 30 years ago. So for 120 years nobody thought of it or made it happen. 30 years ago one guy did and he's a rich man now.
