Here's my pitch

Streaming system for occulus rift and other headsets. Multiple cameras will be set up right beside each other, so they integrate into total FOV. Anywhere in the world, you can place one of these camera rigs, and anyone with a headset and the software can stream to your camera and see where you are, what you're doing, etc.

This would let anyone wake up to the sun rising on the alpine mountains, or fall asleep seeing the sun set over the pacific ocean, listening to the waves splash on the shore.

some ideas i got
>a food similar to ramen that lasts longer, tastes better, has more nutritional value, appeals to the health/organic faggot crowd, and is somehow cheaper - that one ramen company is the only real ramen company in the US and it has an image of being poor people food, but if you make a "cool" ramen brand, sort of Americanized, you can easily dominate the US market
>gigantic blimp that has a giant bug zapper on it, fly it over a neighborhood at night, slaughter every single fucking faggot mosquito in the area. Call it something similar to the Hindenburg to give it that Nazi/holocaust branding image which is associated with a mass extermination
>a dildo that you insert your penis into, that vibrates or something, so it's like you have a gigantic vibrating cock, and you fuck your woman with it
>a movie/comic book series about an antihero/villain who can control shit/fecal matter with his mind, kind of like Magneto. He rips the developing shit out of enemies intestines, killing them. He can also rip it from pipes underground, destroying infrastructure. He can create little shit minions and shit goblins. He rides on a giant shit dragon that flies, similar to that giant snake/dragon robot villain from the Avengers movie, oh and the shit dragon breaks thru buildings and stuff. His sidekick/friend can be some guy who controls bugs how Aquaman controls fish. Try fighting crime with a shit goblin punching you in the face and a colony of fire ants crawling up your dickhole, Batman

Poorfags detected.

You don't get rich by ramen research. Why all the hassle? You buy that EXACTLY SAME ramen from that ONE manufacturer. Hire a design student to create a new packaging (lots of black and gold and shiny stuff) and sell it. But you don't sell it as ramen but rather as hyper exclusive asian health soup. Give it a silly name like sheep penis (in japanesekoreanwhatever letters). Nouveau riche will easily pay up to 26$ a pack because they don't even know what ramen is.

You should aim at affluents as your target group. Folks earning 200k-1mm a year fall for this stuff. They are stupid enough to "keep up with the Joneses" if you know what I mean.

We're monetizing this from a premium service model; selling our users on the practicality and usability of the application and then enticing them to pay a monthly fee for features that'll in turn make them money.

The idea itself is a bit too niche for my liking anyway and I'm sure there are similar websites that photographers use already.
