We found 7 business ideas that will blow up in 2026
Ever wonder what business ideas are set to explode in 2026? According to My First Million, a couple of entrepreneurs recently rated seven wild but promising concepts — things like pet chat apps, hyperbaric home therapy, and even themed bathhouse-steakhouse combos. Now, here’s where it gets interesting — these aren’t just random ideas; they tap into real trends and unmet needs. For example, Shaan Puri points out that niche communities, like hyper-focused pet conversations, could become huge because people love personalized, specialized experiences. Meanwhile, Sam Parr highlights how older industries — think blue-collar training or nostalgic venues — are ripe for innovation if you bring the right tech or experience. ((slower)) According to both hosts, the key is spotting these emerging niches early and being willing to pivot. So what does this mean for you? It’s about staying ahead of the curve and asking, ‘Where’s the next big gap?’ Because, honestly, in 2026, the most daring ideas might just be the biggest winners.
