Hey Nic,

Here's a suggestion for an idea that you can cover in the upcoming post :- Subscriptions for local businesses.

Investors seem to really think that it can blossom into something huge as is indicated by the following investments by Y Combinator into these three players covering the same aforementioned idea into different geographies:-

1. Per Diem (Currently focused on North America but open to expansion)

2. Shopscribe (Europe)

3. JoinSub (India)

The idea is replicable across geographies and is highly scalable (just like the gift card for local businesses idea that you wrote about) so people in other countries who might stumble across your newsletter can think about starting a similar venture in their own country or region (e.g. Latin America, China etc.)

P.S. Per Diem was also successful in raising further funding

Looking forward to your next post,
