I clicked through each of the founder's LinkedIn profiles for that posting because something seemed... off about it. One was listed as a Forbes 30 under 30, combined with the language/curation of their pages, made me think these a

The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati ( https://www.americansignmuseum.org/ ) is good if you like neon and advertising. They have an on site shop where you can view repairs being performed. The Boneyard in Las Vegas is also

This same story made it to #1 on HN like a year ago and got featured on Forbes/CNBC type sites. I think the author created a new account to argue with people in the comments if that provides any additional context.

An easily visible one is air intakes. Many manufacturers have shifted to plastic. Peteo-engineering has advanced a lot, but they will still get brittle and break. Interior wise, you can look at things like fabric durability-- lower deniers

The educational and informational queries were always the least valuable from a monetization standpoint. Chegg Answers could rank for these low competition (also low commercial intent) terms-- think queries like phrases from textbooks stude

Look at where Fanduel/Draftking/Caesars type sportsbooks make their most margin-- it is parlays. Probably 95% of people wagering on these sites don't have even a tenuous grasp on basic statistics, yet alone how to derive actu

Users are broken into two separate buckets: industry and consumers. Industry users keep using the site, based on the number of visitors with 50+ visits coming in directly every weekday. The site also gets cited by organizations with regard

The Modified LAR product is what you may want to look at, then. Yes, it is annual, but if you aren't against modeling data, look at the rate spread value, segment then project vs current FRED data and you'll get pretty close to

Good idea. A few years back I built https://originationdata.com that compares mortgage lenders (both FDIC & FCUA members) using HMDA data. I modeled rates by lender, product type as well as by facets like MSA (as well as STL

The Logic of Sports Betting by Ed Miller is probably a good start. Parimutuel vs house odds is probably a good start in seeing how odds change in different types of markets. Monte Carlo simulations will be useful in coming up with your own
