About Plan Stubs

Plan stubs are a potential business ideas that are a work-in-progress. Intended to be shared and discussed with collaborators and other potential stakeholders. Here are some things to know:

  1. Plan stubs are intended to evolve into actual business plans. At the minimum, a plan stub needs an overview of the core product(s) and/or services, enough to communicate the gist of the business. Whatever stubs get traction will be developed further, adding detail, and expanding into more and more concrete plans until critical mass is achieved and someone decides to execute one of the plans.

  2. The names are cheeky and made up and can (and probably should) be changed prior to implementation.

  3. Everything is up for debate. The whole point if this is to communicate with collaborators and iterate.

  4. For now, everything is in the open and public. We may have to password-protect pages later if there are details that are worth protecting.

Plan Stub Summaries

Floyd Covered Wagons builds covered-wagon-style camper shells for open-deck utility trailers.

Pilot Tethered Systems focuses on package and battery handoff between fixed-wing cruising drones and high powered tethered “tug boat” drones. This is the most typical “startup” of the bunch.

New River EVs follows in other EV garages’ footsteps (most notably EV West) with a focus on lower-cost components and off-road capable vehicles that will be more appealing to Appalachians and East-coasters.

Solar Sail Adventurecraft builds and sells small solar-electric boats and solar-electric boat retrofit kits. Heavy B2B interaction with rental/fleet customers is also part of the plan.

Three Quarters Ass DIY Network builds and sells high-end DIY kits and helps creators bring DIY kits of their projects to their fanbases.

This is the wall where I throw my spaghetti. Will you let me know if anything sticks?
