Startup Sphere Weekly #40

AI tool for generating multi-language voiceovers

Asking Price: $25,000
TTM Revenue: $3,000
TTM Profit: $2,000

There has been a rapid rise in tools that leverage AI to significantly multiply output. This tool is an example of that.

The business for sale is a tool for generating voiceovers for short-form video, in various languages. Theoretically, this will significantly multiply content creator output and help distribute their content to a much larger audience.

I have seen examples of tools similar to this one that work, but I am never sure if they just cherry-pick from their best results.

I can see this having a huge impact on the podcast space.

Competitors include ShortX and AutoShorts.

Website for generating unique tattoo designs

Asking Price: $49,500
TTM Revenue: $2,000
TTM Profit: $5,500

Here’s another example of a website that uses AI in a creative way.

The business for sale is a website that generates tattoo ideas. This is a super interesting niche, which I don’t know much about.

However, I like the concept that this website will help you generate a unique tattoo based on your personal input. I think this gives people a sense of being unique and expressing themselves (which is what tattoos are all about).

I am surprised that the profit margins are this low for the business, given that you can use an open-source model like Stable Diffusion to generate images.

I can also imagine it is difficult to retain customers since most will generate tattoos for a week, get the tattoo, and no longer need the software.

Novelty gift card e-commerce store

Asking Price: $250,000
TTM Revenue: $133,000
TTM Profit: $47,000

Here’s a fun example of a business that doesn’t need AI or SaaS to be successful.

The company is a novelty gift card business. They sell an assortment of gift cards with clever designs and witty messaging. The company primarily sells on Amazon.

There has been a recent decline in revenue because the owner stopped running paid ads. It is definitely worth asking about the reasoning for stopping paid ads.

I like how this business sticks to a proven niche that works. I think this plays in its favor and helps overcome the waves of economic and industrial changes.
