An investor gives you "seed money" to start a business. What kind of business would you start?

You have the money.
You can use it to fuel any sort of venture.
Profit or non-profit.
Fun or good willed.

What would you do?

My first thought is a chain of non-profit grocery stores.

If it's any consolation, this idea has been on my mind for at least a few years.

That's a fantastic idea

The Foundation for the collection of antimatter.

how would you have room to store it

Would not be the mass but the density that would pose a problem. Would need a containment field off planet.

Fair trade, recycled and all natural store. I had a business called Green Lady but sold wholesale to others-I'd have my own shop this time.

Im writing an "on the road" sort of book called "the green lady" about reefer, lol

I would start a medical marijuana growing and distribution company

That has the potential for a really big return on investment!

I know they say never make your hobby your job, but I still think the right answer here is "pornographer."

Nice Hobby!!!!

A franchise of free grocery stores managed by low-income people.

Wow, @Glademan, what an amazing story.

Is it published somewhere in any form?

I would like to turn my back yard into a community garden. I just don't have the funds and energy to clear the land and upkeep the garden.

I bet there's a program that can help you do it... I can look into it for you if you'd like.

@FoxyMoron; I would really like that. Thank you.

Video game development

It's a multi-billion dollar industry. I don't need too big a percentage of that to get by on.... 😉

I would start a business that involves selling items I love to create. A business that has items people will want, but only if they are unique and special. This way I can work in what I love and the money coming in is something good too.Click on [tastefulspace.com]

I would start a food-related business! You can start such a business with a small production facility, from where goods of the same type will be supplied. Then, as far as possible, this product can be expanded by introducing new types of packaging based on customer needs. It is also possible to produce packaging for a specific customer with a logo that resonates with large companies. So you can start a business with a small investment! You can start by developing leadership skills at prendo.com. This will help you when you communicate with your competitors and customers! People are the core of your business!

A brewery. But i'd need a million...

I worked at Strohs for about 10 years I was in the package department. The work environment in a brewery has a lot of commodity.

Start a zero cost university of science for gifted young people who would otherwise not have an opportunity for advanced study. One of my lifelong dreams.

A low cost chain of universities for people in third world countries who could not otherwise afford to continue their education.

"University of the People" exists and seems amazing, not to take away from any ideas you may have, but seeing what they do, restored a little of my faith in humanity. [ted.com]

I'd open a hair salon catering to curly hair. It's hard to find stylists who know how to cut my hair. Most of the time I have to fix my cut after a salon trip.

I would build a handicapable/neurodiverse arena to host not only Special Olympic and sporting events, but big named entertainment concerts for the public as well. Inside the building there would be offices of occupational, speech and language, physical, individual and family therapy, with funded arts and crafts activities, availability for respite to the family of care givers (from infancy to elders). Vocational opportunities for all, great way to volunteer hours, great way for local companies to participate and advertise. Medical staff on site. State of the art handicapable playground on the grounds alongside a an indoor/outdoor therapeutic and swimming pool. Sponsors from Autism to Alzheimer associations.

I would call it the O’rena. A name an Autistic client called me. 😉 Dream big!

I'd like a little restaurant. Nothing fancy, just a little burger joint.

I'd start a worker-owned co-op to rival the world-sucking Amazon.

Not a business, as it wouldn't make money, but animal shelters, both domesticated and wildlife.

Oooo, this is a tough one. I think a shelter for homeless LGBT+ youth. It's not really a "business" but I can use this money however I want. Sustaining it would be another thing though, but that isn't what this question is about! 😀

Open an organic movie theater

-Sustainable Agro Business
Considering climate change, populations growth, an area around the world needing more research and funding, more farmers around the world need new and alternative ways of farming.

An american style Malt Shop that sells nothing but milkshakes and smoothies.

a music studio. will find musicians for a band and record my music. the album name "Puerto Rican Hopes, Cuban Fantasies and American Dreams".

I would buy a warehouse. Turn half of it into a flat pack skatepark and hold events. E.g. Gigs and charity events. The skatepark would be open to anyone and all profits after overheads would be donated to causes I deem to be worthy.

Is start a little woodworking business, making custom furniture.

I would open a chain of old folks homes geared specifically for dorks, and do it up right. Top of the line medical care combined with wings that look like Gondor, the old Battlestar Galactica set, that shit would be gold. If anyone steals my idea, hook me up with a room!
