Okay, hear me out: buying dying brands. Think Toys 'R Us but like, super niche. Is this a VIBE or what? :joy::skull:

Wait, like turning them into eco-friendly brands? :potted_plant::recycling_symbol: I’m in! Imagine a plant-based Blockbuster… but online.

Honestly, some of these companies have solid assets. And we all love a redemption arc, right? :woman_superhero::chart_increasing:

Real talk though, it’s about the IP. Vintage IP has mad value for merch. Anyone say nostalgia? :couch_and_lamp::television:

So we’re basically flipping companies like sneakers now? :joy::fire:

Imagine turning a failing fast food chain into a vegan hotspot. Now THAT’s innovation. :hamburger::right_arrow::green_salad:

But how do you even buy a company? Like, do we need a sugar daddy investor or…? :money_mouth_face::thinking:

@student_with_stock It’s about finding undervalued assets and pitching the turnaround story. :man_detective::bar_chart:

Toys 'R Us didn’t have a social media presence. BIG mistake in 2023. We’d TikTok our way to profits.

What if we crowdsource it? Get 1K people to chip in $100 each. Boom, you own a company! :tada::money_bag:

Crowdfunding a failed brand is a hella good meme. The irony is delicious. :joy:

popculture_pundit

Lowkey, would love to own a piece of history. Like, who else can say they own Blockbuster? :videocassette::raising_hands:

genzee_skeptic

Not to be a buzzkill, but what if it’s just a money pit? I mean, my crypto wallet’s been through enough. :sweat_smile:

real_deal_99

It’s not about quick cash; it’s about strategic revamps. Like turning an old record store into a digital music platform. :musical_notes:

15

social_sam

Guys, imagine the clout. You tweet ‘Just bought a company’ and watch the followers roll in. :rocket:

16

chill_vibes_only

This talks to the rebellious spirit. Resurrecting brands that corporate America forgot. :high_voltage:#AntiEstablishment

savvy_sam

@chill_vibes_only It’s poetic justice, really. Disrupting the disruptors. :sign_of_the_horns:

All I know is, if I see a MySpace revival, I’m buying stock. Pure nostalgia. :alien_monster::chart_increasing:

19

lil_bit_of_everything

Y’all, let’s just do it. One Zoom meeting, a PayPal account, and we can own a piece of the 90s. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::telephone_receiver:

Sign me up if it involves pizza. :pizza:Can’t lose with pizza.
