• Homemade cake delivery startup.
• No one makes a better homemade cake than my mom!
• We also use a super special oven (which is much cheaper than the usual oven) to bake our cakes.
• I taught this exact recipe to some students, branded the venture(designing boxes, menus, logos, etc.) and helped them market it in their society.
• Since they are students and they're known by the society members, it added an extra 'aww-factor' which made it easier for me to market this.
• This was an extremely successful market test with the only challenge being the students' exams.

• "Who better to market than your customers' friends?"
• This was by far my most successful market test. I created a moderated student network on WhatsApp which allowed me to send any message to all the students in my University within a day.
• This created an effective marketing channel. Since everyone was a college student, the message was being very effectively being broadcasted to a very focused group. Also, since it was being sent to the students' WhatsApp devices via their friends, it got more focus than normal ads.
• I had great success with this model. I even started some money within the first 3 months without spending any money at all. The only drawback was scalability which can maybe be dealt with in the future.
