90/10, 23 and Me for Shirts, Library Movie Release Windows, and Fiver for Video Game Assets
Summary
Hosts Russell, Leo, and Scott welcome guest Kirk, a pixel artist and game developer, to discuss startup ideas. They begin with a game distinguishing video game engines from car engines before exploring the "90-10" model, where robots handle bulk tasks like lawn mowing or laundry while humans manage complex details. The group also pitches a service to recreate discontinued clothing items from photos and a distribution network for libraries to sell physical media. Finally, Kirk proposes a platform connecting game studios directly with freelance artists to eliminate outsourcing middlemen.
