Time to document another batch of ideas that I have been thinking this cozy weekend.

Friday I watched some video(s) which focused on Samuel Rondot, an entrepreneur who only build products based on existing ideas. He gets his ideas from online research and his mantra is to “build a proven idea” - i.e. twitter, buildinpublic,. I guess as a european, the easy thing to do is to add localization. I wonder how he outperforms the “copied” business (better marketing?). There are more stories on this channel. Maybe that French optometrist was right in looking at other existing services, as his three products supposedly generate over 35000 / month
