1. Find a way to return cubesats from orbit
2. Sell your system to anyone who wants to do science where the payload has to come back, but can't get onto the ISS / wants to experiment in open vacuum not a station.
3. Find goods that can only be manufactured in micro-g which are profitable at tiny scale, make them with your returnable cube sats. Made in Space, FOMS, etc are trying to do this but you could iterate faster/cheaper on cubes than mucking with ISS bureaucracy.
The window to do this is small and might not exist though. Eventually private stations will likely be the better option.

Probably a tiny market there's already the exposed facility on Kibo [0] on the ISS that can take a lot of experiments.
