Opportunity #1:
A niche front-end feature flag service that minimizes code bloat

LaunchDarkly is a feature flag software that helps software developers build reliable software. 

In this issue, we look closely at the feature flag management market as a whole. We'll look closely at the differences between the most well-known feature flag solutions such as Split.io, Flagsmith, and of course LaunchDarkly.

From there, we analyze why this market has been notoriously difficult to enter, before examining the possibility of a niche play in the market!

Finally, we discuss the pain points that exist within the feature flag market, why some companies have been hesitant to adopt these solutions, and how we can appeal to them by building our own niched feature flag solution!

Opportunity #2:
A charity solution for Stripe-based companies


While the primary objective of any company is to turn a profit, we also want our companies to make a real difference in the world.

But it's not just us that feel this way - our customers do too!

You've probably heard of companies donating a percentage of sales to charity - perhaps you've even thought of doing it yourself.

Givz is a recent addition to the B2B charity enablement space, allowing Shopify stores to replace their traditional discount-based marketing promotions ("Get 30% off today only!") with donation-based marketing promotions ("Buy today and we'll give $10 to the charity of your choice!")

This is a fascinating model for a product!

This week, we'll be looking very closely at how we can apply a similar model to down-market companies beyond the D2C eCommerce space.

We'll create a product that not only helps companies drive more sales but also help companies donate more to charity, creating a better world for us all.

Opportunity #3:
An automatic, personalized email marketing solution for eCommerce.

Bluecore is an enterprise-focused personalization and email tool that allows large eCommerce companies to easily create targeted, personalized marketing efforts that increase conversions and sales.

With Bluecore, eCommerce companies can easily implement cart and search abandonment retargeting, as well as alerts when products are back in stock, gift reminders, and more.

Bluecore is a fantastic product for large eCommerce companies looking to maximize their conversion rate across email and web platforms. With their powerful platforms, they are able to offer the comprehensive feature set that enterprises crave.

However, for smaller, down-market eCommerce companies, adopting a large platform like Bluecore in order to implement custom personalization workflows simply doesn't make sense.

The reality is that most small eCommerce stores struggle with email marketing, and are constantly looking for ways to make their marketing more effective.

This week, we'll be looking at creating a small niche product for direct-to-consumer (D2C) eCommerce companies that aims to make the process of creating personalized email offers as easy as possible!
