Real-world context
You don't need lots of money to start — you need a real need, a scrappy offer, and a first customer. The constraint of $100 forces creativity over capital.
The challenge
Design a small business that can be started with less than $100. Study who is affected, dig past the obvious symptoms to the real root causes, and design a solution that could actually work in the real world. There is no single correct answer — what matters is the quality of your thinking, the stakeholders you consider, and how clearly you justify your chosen direction.
Reflection prompts
- Who is most affected by this problem, and how did you account for them?
- What is the single biggest risk to your solution working?
- Which assumption, if wrong, would break your whole idea?
