If you were given $500,000 but you're only allowed to invest it into a startup business of your choice, what would it be and why?

It doesn't matter what your age is. Let's assume you're young and have all the time and energy in the world. What business startup would you choose?

[Drumlin2001]

Construction of some sort. UK has seen many skilled tradesman leave due to Brexit, haven't trained enough to replace them. Will be real problems in a decade or so when the current trades start to retire as not enough coming through and ever increasing need for trades

It would be a small intimate restaurant, with a comfort food menu.

[HawkPerception]

Love it. I also like that idea

[IslaTheWitch]

probably evolving AI image recognition. Useful and needed in the medicine asap...

[HawkPerception]

As your own startup?

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm better with words than images, so, I would stay with language models...

but there are many startups working on AI image recognition and I would choose something involved in reading MMR or RTG images and finding abnormalities.

MRT*

Sounds... technical 😂👍🏼

[ChiTown33]

I'd look for one or more quantum computing start ups.

[HawkPerception]

I meant to invest in your own startup... not others startups.

[ChiTown33]

OK, I'd start an investment fund then.

[HawkPerception]

😊👍🏼

the same I have right now... which I started with a lot less

I would just do it a bigger scale, and franchise it for the broader region

[msc545]

I would invest it in a business where I wrote a book about how to turn 500,000 into $500 million and I would sell that book to as many people as I could. There is a sucker born every minute.

[exitseven]

I would start a podcast.

Gold I already do so maybe limos

Big daddy, Swedes steakhouse

[KrakenAttackin]

Small arms ammunition production.
