6 startup ideas from the tech Warren Buffett (make $120k/mo)

I can basically buy a robot lawnmower. So for people that aren't familiar, it's basically like a Roomba, except it mows your lawn. And so you just put this thing outside and you geofence your lawn and you kind of tell it what to do. And every day or a couple days, it'll go and mow. And so...

um because you only mow your lawn like once a week or so um you can actually have one and it can do multiple yards and all that kind of stuff and so i just thought that was really interesting because the return on investment for this versus something like solar is crazy if you get solar panels you're looking at like a 10 to 20 year payback depending on where in the world you live

And a robot mower can pay itself off in like six to 12 months, pretty much, which is pretty crazy. And if you think about it, a Roomba kind of sucks because a house is a highly variable environment. So I've had Roombas for 20 years. Every couple of years, I get excited. I go and buy one. And over and over again, I have the same experience. And the experience is...

My kids drop toys, or there's cables, or it gets stuck underneath something, and it just doesn't work that well. Whereas a yard, there's really nothing in your yard. And so you can basically let these things go wild 24-7. So I think robot vacuums as a opportunity category is really interesting.

And I think that if I was to do anything, I would probably build a robot vacuum lawnmower review website. So I would do the best deep dive wire cutter style reviews of the robot lawnmowers, focus on SEO, and then do affiliate or something like that. Other opportunities, I think that you can certainly buy a dealership or something like that. That could be interesting.

The idea that I actually had was to start a lawn mowing company or buy a lawn mowing company that has a ton of customers. And instead of having laborers go do the work, you just pre-program everyone's yard and you literally just show up on Monday, for example, you drop the little drone and it goes and cuts their yard and then you pick it up at the end of the day.

And you just do that for a whole bunch of different people. And so if you think about it, a landscaping business It's a hard, crappy business because, you know, the margins are OK. You kind of have a 15 to 30 percent margin, but it's a lot of blue collar work and highly seasonal. And if you think about it with this, you could have like 10 robot mowers.
