I’m very eager to start my own business. I’ve been saving money for a few years now. I’m eager to create something useful for the Jewish world. Does anyone have ideas?

A wise business mentor once told me that the more creative and unique the business idea, the more likely it is to fail. Stick with the tried and true markets. Competition is actually a good thing.

Are you new here? If so welcome. Here's a few things you might want to know.
Your last post is not anonymous. You have to make each post anonymous, not just your original if you want to stay anonymous. You can click the little pen in the corner of your post to edit it and make it anonymous.
Also, on this site the like button is used to say you like an idea (or even love it). The heart is supposed to be used only for sympathy (hugs) but is often used for disapproval (passive aggressive hugs).

We have affordable shoe companies and affordable clothes companies-tottini what about affordable socks. You would have to manufacture a lot to make a profit. If its compatible in quality and designs to other companies no one even cares about the brand.

True, but doing the same thing that's already being done (and likely well established) seems tough

How can you tell who is leaving the hearts on posts? Is there a way to see who likes/gives hearts?

Pick something boring. The more exciting it is (ie fashion), the more flooded it will be.
Don’t have any actual ideas though. As someone in marketing, I meet new small business owners all the time and I see how easy it is for a business to fail. So I stay far away from entrepreneurship!
But much hatzlacha to you!

Here's a very specific idea: cholov yisroel whey protein powder manufacturing. I'm not that familiar with the industry, but if I remember correctly, there is no manufacturing facility that produces exclusively cholov yisroel powder, and it requires very specific equipment that is hard to kasher. So cholov yisroel whey protein isolate is currently available but very expensive. You'll have to do your own research but I think it's entirely possible that if someone invests in the equipment they'll find that there is enough demand for more. (It's used in its pure form as a supplement or as part of the recipe for all sorts of food products, as a protein boost.)

Cholov yisrael flavored coffee creamer
I had a meal prep company and it did pretty well. I did grain bowls/ power bowls etc and delivered to ppls homes. If you are interested pm me and I’m happy to share more about how it worked.

I agree that the kosher world can use more clean, organic options in all categories: baked goods, snacks, frozen foods, everything.

The only company I know of that has something like this is grab1.
They have kosher/cholov yisroel protein bars.
My understanding is that it's hard to Manufacture and then hard to get the brands on store shelves.

If it's well established, that means the market already exists. Of course you can have your unique spin on it, but you're working with an existing market.
Here's a simple example. If you would open up a daycare in Lakewood, you would probably fill up pretty quickly. Everybody knows they need a playgroup slot. Every year they're looking for a playgroup. As long as you are a decent option And let people know you're around, those in need will come and find you.
But let's say you decide to provide a service where you create yearly photobooks for families. People don't realize they need this service. They're not thinking about who to hire for that. It's not actually a line in their budget at all. You'll need a very intense advertising campaign to even convince people that they need what you offer. Because you're creating a new market from scratch.
Same thing if you're trying to sell vitamin C supplements versus trying to self dissiciatted liver supplements. You'll have an easier time selling the vitamin C supplements because it's something people already know they need. Sure you have competition for Vitamin C. But there's enough of a market for everyone. Well if this liver supplement, despite that, it's a brilliant idea and would really help everyone, you have to convince people that they need it first.
Ever wonder why professionals, from principals to therapist, network with their colleagues/competition? Competition is better than no competition.
Of course we need an edge. If you're selling the exact same product as everyone else at the exact same price in the exact same way, why would they pick you? Having an edge is different than creating a new market.
Like I said, I learned this from a wise business mentor. Unfortunately I wasn't wise enough to listen to him, but I will pass on the advice and maybe you will.

What about a website/app where you can book frum available babysitters (including drop ins) in the area?
Also a website/app where all the sheitel machers/wig salons in the area are listed and you can see their ratings, price ranges etc?
And something similar for gmachs in the area where people can post, “just dropped off a bunch of great condition clothing sizes S-M in this and this location.” This way people know when there’s new stuff.

A company where you can sign up for a week or two of 3 meals a day postpartum. Breakfast and lunch for just mom (with option for nurse as well) and dinner for the whole family. Kind of like going to one of these kimpeturin places and getting well nourished, but you sleep in your own bed. I'd totally pay for 2 weeks of that plus one week of a nurse.

interesting idea but if someone is paying for prepared food woulndt they rather get from their favorite places via ubereats or phone order? especially pp I for one would rather take the time to order from places that I know I like than have a homemade kind of service drop off food that sometimes ill eat sometimes ill skip (just like what probably happens in these kimpiturin places)..? and if you mean for it to be gourmet restaurant style food youd need a lot a lot or sing ups in order for your prices to be worth it for ppl.. just my opinion
