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?

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!

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! 😀

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.

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 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!

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.

Start an organization that grows organic foods..and also makes self sustaining community's with houses made from storage containers...

Something in promising renewable energy technology.

I'd set up offices buildings in purple states and lure liberal tech companies there for everyone's benefit and profit.

How to live healthy self substainable homes and food lives without the Federal Governments.

Doing that now, but the Corperationism Government keeps getting in the way.

So many choices ..... doggie daycare, food co-op, housing / shelter for thrown away LGBT kids - hell throw in some job training and life skills classes. If the LGBT thing works, then do it for Vets. I'd make loans to people so they could get away from payday lenders.

A grassroots lobby group... like we need another one of those

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 think I might buy some land and build small frame houses to sell to the working poor. I got lots of people wanting to buy houses. I can't find enough houses priced right to meet the demand. New home prices are outrageous. There are lots of vacant lots scattered all over Dallas that can be bought for a song. But the city won't allow frame houses to be built on them, so they just sit there. Sad ! I'd have to go outside the city limits. Just a thought. If they would let me put mobil homes on those lots, I can get mobil homes free, just for hauling them off.

something that helped wildlife

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.
