Exploding Ideas is a weekly newsletter and blog about the new customers that structural change creates, and the businesses worth building to serve them.
What is Exploding Ideas?
Every week it takes one rising trend, often starting from a Google Trends curve, and asks who the new customer is: people who did not exist as a market yesterday and do today. From there it maps the economy forming around them, the business ideas it opens, and which of those are worth building.
How it works
The free Sunday edition presents the week's economy and a set of business ideas. The Tuesday Deep Dive, for paid members, works one business model through in detail: timing, preparation, pricing and first customers.
The blog at explodingideas.co is organized in five sections: Emerging Economies, Business Ideas, Validate an Idea, Shipping and First Customers, plus a set of free calculators.
Who it is for
First-time founders, solo operators and side builders who want to spot an opportunity early and check whether it is worth their time before building anything.
Pricing
The Sunday newsletter and the blog are free. The Tuesday Deep Dive is part of the paid membership.
