Opportunity #1:
eLearning & Precision upskilling

Workera is a platform that allows users to take skills assessments and training for more than 3,000 AI-related micro-skills. It helps employers identify the skills training that both technical and non-technical employees could benefit from, creating personalized learning plans with specific microlearning tasks.

In other words, it's a skilling platform for the AI niche.

While Workera is still a relatively new company, it's already received over $20 million in funding. It's an exciting company that has coined the term "precision upskilling", an innovative approach to eLearning software.

In this issue, we'll be diving into the upskilling software market to get an understanding of what makes Workera so special, and what opportunities remain in eLearning.

From there, we'll talk about how we could build a bootstrapped company that takes precision upskilling to a new niche!

We'll look at the biggest pain points that companies experience when implementing an upskilling solution, how we could build software that solves those problems, and the three main features needed to build an MVP (as well as two bonus features to really stand out!).

Finally, we'll look at four marketing channels that have a high probability of success with this product, and why these channels are likely to succeed.

This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to break into the eLearning space, and while it isn't the smallest opportunity we've ever covered, it has the potential to gain some solid traction with companies of all sizes!

Opportunity #2:
A Micro-SaaS for Remote Teams

Loom is a screen-capture and webcam-capture tool that makes it easy to record video presentations. Loom is used by companies for asynchronous, personalized video messages, and is used across many use-cases including support teams, designers, and sales.

There's no doubt that the pandemic has caused asynchronous video solutions to surge in popularity, making now the ideal time to enter this market!

In this issue, we'll investigate:

How is remote work trending right now, and how has the pandemic affected it?
How has Loom stood out from the shadow of Zoom, and why has it been successful?
With the explosion of interest in this market in recent months, what new products are entering the market, and how do they differ?
Why do fully remote companies have different pain points from in-person or hybrid-remote companies, and what are they?
How can we build a competing product, and what might an MVP look like?
What are the top marketing channels to explore for acquiring early customers?

Instead of competing with innovative algorithms and technical complexity, this opportunity wants to compete by creating a product that is ideal for a particular niche - fully remote companies. If you've been interested in this space, you'll definitely want to see this report!

Opportunity #3:
A social media marketing platform for nonprofits

Simplified is a brand-new company that's looking to make waves in the digital asset design and management space. Simplified is a solution for marketing teams that makes it easy to create digital assets such as images for Instagram posts, Facebook Covers, YouTube Thumbnails, and more.

Simplified is currently positioned towards the eCommerce market, but is exploring other areas as well such as Zoom virtual backgrounds.

In this report, we'll be examing some of the major competitors that Simplified is facing off against, such as Piktochart, Infogram, and of course, Canva, the ~$500M ARR giant in the space.

Next, we'll look at why companies are switching to Simplified over Canva, what this means for the state of this software market, and most importantly, what pain points still exist for the down-market audience.

Then, we'll investigate the feasibility of an AI-based opportunity to build a niche solution in this industry that avoids direct comparison to industry giants like Canva.

This product is an excellent example of a niche opportunity that relies on solid positioning and a clear group of unsatisfied users to succeed while tapping into the trendy power of AI to drive both marketing interest and the application itself!

That said, this opportunity is best-suited for a founder or team with previous AI experience, or at least a willingness to learn. Once the actual algorithm is created, the rest of the application is relatively simple to build, making this opportunity great for someone looking to differentiate by building a proprietary AI.
