01 THE IDEA

Greg and his co-host identify that large companies like Disney have entire teams dedicated to tracking how their IP is being used, shared, and valued across the internet — but no equivalent tool exists for startups, small brands, or up-and-coming creators. The idea is to build a platform that monitors where a brand's logos, characters, content, or creative assets appear online, tracks the 'perceived value' of that IP over time, and surfaces actionable insights.

The business model could start free (like VidIQ) to drive adoption among creators and startups, then monetize via subscription, sponsor matchmaking, or even financial services (IP-backed loans). The creator angle is especially compelling: a Mr. Beast-type creator producing viral content across platforms has significant brand IP value that's completely untracked and unleveraged today.

03 THE VERDICT

This is a clear gap in the market with a massive and growing addressable audience (creators + startups). The freemium-to-paid model is proven by VidIQ. The hard technical moat (image recognition, web crawling at scale) keeps out casual copycats, and the financial services upsell (IP-backed financing) is a differentiated revenue layer. Start with a free Chrome extension for creators tracking their content 'in the wild' and grow from there.
