- Highlights
The idea: to build an agentic exterminator service. New York City publishes the result of every restaurant health inspection, including pest violations.
The public dataset exposed businesses with a specific, timely need.
Four weeks and a lot of phone calls later, it had made $75.
The experiment produced real revenue from a cold start.
- Excerpt
