💡 Today’s Minimum Viable Idea
🅿️ 🚗 Parking Reservation App
IDEA: We have all been there. We are excited to go to a concert or ball game only to find out that the walk to the venue is longer than the drive. In the classic college football experience, you drive around the entire parking lot only to park a mile away in some random guy’s driveway and he only accepts cash. And there is also no way of knowing if it’s even his driveway. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of the biggest headaches of driving figured out before you start the engine?
PRODUCT: Develop an app that allows users to reserve parking spaces in event center lots or parking garages for big events, busy downtown areas, or seasonal activity surges (like the mall at Christmas Time). Integrate with maps or Uber to provide walking directions or curbside drop off.
MVP: iPhone app with reservation system.
REVENUE MODEL: Transactional (pay to park) and subscription for premium offerings.
EXIT STRATEGY: Sell to parking authority or transportation service like Uber or Lyft.

🚨 Startup News 🗞️
Publication: TechCrunch
Summary: Waymo plans to launch a commercial robotaxi service in London in 2026, marking its second international expansion after Tokyo. Its fleet will begin with all-electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles outfitted with self-driving systems, initially driven by human safety drivers before transitioning to full autonomy. The move builds on Waymo’s earlier U.K. investments. This includes acquiring Oxford-based Latent Logic and opening an engineering hub in Oxford. Waymo is partnering with Moove, which helps manage its autonomous vehicle operations, and the rollout depends on U.K. regulatory approval.
Spin: I am curious to hear what you all think about Waymo. Reply to this email and let me know your thoughts and I will respond to discuss. Personally, self-driving vehicles scare me a little. I am open to the idea of them, but I am definitely not going to be the first one to try it. It is reassuring that they have had successful trials in California and Tokyo, two highly populated areas. It will be interesting to see who will come out on top between Waymo and Uber/Lyft once Waymo expands across the US and globe.

Summary: AI startup Viven has raised $35 million in a seed round led by Khosla Ventures to build digital twins that substitute for absent team members. These twins are personalized AI agents built on customized LLMs trained on the person’s emails, chat threads, meeting records, internal docs, etc., enabling colleagues to query them when the real person is unavailable. Viven also supports “team-level twins” combining collective knowledge. It addresses privacy by using “pairwise context and privacy” controls to restrict access to sensitive information. Early adopters include Genpact and RedCrackle.
Spin: I am pretty thrilled about this. What I glean from this article is that now, instead of my coworkers calling me while I am at the beach, they can just ask my virtual twin. I can finally enjoy my vacation in peace. I am very interested in seeing how effective the virtual twins are. This could allow small companies to save tens of thousands in salary expenses by essentially duplicating top performers.

Silicon Valley on HBO is a show that every entrepreneur, tech or otherwise, should watch. It follows a hacker hostel in the heart of Palo Alto as they and their compression algorithm fight the biggest tech companies in the valley for supremacy. On top of being one of the funniest shows ever created, it does a very good job of highlighting the very high highs and extremely low lows of starting a business.

🏈 Fantasy Football Reminder Service
IDEA: We all have that one person in the league who never sets their lineup. Someone isn’t paying attention and the London game kicks off while James Cook is on a bye and Saquon Barkley is on the bench ready to go. Sure, it’s nice to be playing the person who starts injured players and a win is a win, but it feels sort of tainted in a way.
Let’s level the playing field. Create a messaging service that connects to your fantasy team and sends you a message an hour before kickoff if you are starting a player projected zero points. Simple, but could win you a game.
