Like most people, I expect to be inside/quarantined for the next weeks. I was supposed to be on vacation next week which is unfortunately cancelled but still have that week off and dont just wanna spend it on Video Games & Netflix, so im consifering something like a 'one-week' Startup challenge for myself. However, im unsure of what Project to focus on - teaching myself programming to build a leadgen site, Amazon FBA, doing research for a potential acquisition in the future to capitalize on a potential downturn (think Entrepreneurship through Acquisition, Search Fund, etc., also as a long term project). Anyone doing sth. similar? Would love to hear some ideas, your projects even before quarantine, etc.

Your ideas seem like they’d take longer than a week (unless you’re already proficient in programming then it depends how focused you can be).
I’m building a web authentication tool
ofc doesnt have to be done in a week, but should be sth where in a week I can hack sth. together with meaningful progress to launch (or too little traction and knowledge to kill it then).
I will partner with you to start a company
day trading baby
Already on that and doing well, but would be doing that anyway regardless of my corona project :-)
bump! Starting to look into Amazon FBA, quantifying an old trading strategy of mine, search funds,... but looking to hear waht other ppl are doing.
If you are in VC how would creating, or working in, a search fund not be a conflict of interest?
It's something that I also consider it as an exit path down the line, but to a limited degree I could agree that w/ my employer (it's an FO although very active in VC). i.e. if I find some very boring business to buy, also with external capital, I could probably argue for this.
Currently doing legal due diligence on the status and IP of an S corp I was COO at backing '15-'16. (it dissolved and the CEO go sued to oblivion
Tricky thing is there were 2 corps, one in california and one in Delaware. If I see green lights I'm going to put 30+ hours a week into redeveloping the idea and product, since it's somewhat cyclically tied to the economy.
If my clients would stop putting in requests from 3am PST --> 8pm PST...maybe I could actually kick this off. I'm slamming down coffee like a madman and there might not be enough TP in LA county for what's about to go down.
