You have always thought that bathtubs are so old fashioned. While you can turn on your heating and lighting in the house with a light, why not develop a similar system for bathtubs. You would just use your smartphone to make your bathtub fill up with water at the exact temperature that you would desire. By the time you get to your bathtub, you no longer have to wait and you can just sink in and enjoy it at exactly the right temperature. Welcome to the world of the “Internet of Bathtubs”! All it would take is to develop an app and a communicating tap. You even have the name ready: “RunTapp”.

The Covid-19 pandemic has frustrated the three of you: your social life is just not what it is supposed to be for people of your age. If only you could go back to organizing festivals in the worry-free way that you had been able to do 3 years ago.

Your passion is your most important asset and the three of you are determined to making your dreams come true, make an impact on the world, and becoming the next unicorn in life sciences.

You think about launching an investment fund in startups. Investing in startups is so cool: you get to see so many startups, and invest in the most promising ones. Your friend’s experience with Eurazeo is showing just how exciting it is. She says that all it would take is to find about 100 million euros from investors in your fund, and then start looking for startups! Surely you will develop a reputation quickly so the startups will choose you over more established ones!

The three of you love smoothies: they are healthy, much better tasting than all the crap food that you tend to eat when you have an afternoon crave, and more convenient and consistent in quality than fruit. Yet your knowledge of sport foods has shown that they also lack protein, an important ingredient. Your friend working at Monoprix says that protein rich foods are a booming product category. So you come up with the idea to launch a protein smoothie. You already make them at home by mixing fruit and greek yogurt in your blenders, and your friends love them. All you need now is a brand name and start selling!
