How Would One Start A Small Business With $2 Working Capital? by Wallie(m): 3:07pm On Mar 03, 2015
Put up $8 of your own money. Your company now has a post-money valuation of $10, and your investor friend owns 20% of your new venture, BrownieLuv.

Use $4 to buy 4 boxes of Duncan Hines Fudge Brownie mix (on sale at $1 each.) Use the remaining $6 to buy eggs and vegetable oil (or, even better, use your own), red Cling Wrap, and heart-shaped stickers. Use your own tap water, energy source, and oven.

Each box of brownie mix should yield 12 large brownies. Wrap each brownie neatly in the red Cling Wrap and seal with a heart-shaped sticker. Arrange the brownies on pretty ceramic dishes or platters, or perhaps small wicker baskets dug out of the attic. Commission an artistic friend to create a catchy sign out of poster board and sharpies (BrownieLuv is Here!) Cost: 1 brownie.

Seek out two trendy food trucks serving your area. Negotiate strategic partnerships wherein the owners receive 50% of all brownie revenue. The duration of the strategic partnerships: 30 days. If the owners balk at the duration, structure them so that they will terminate if/when the brownies fail to reach a predetermined benchmark (surely there will be 24 buyers per food truck over the course of a busy lunch hour.) Price point: $1.00 per brownie.

Revenues:
48 Brownies a Day (30 Days) @1.00 = $1440 [Gross]
Proceeds after Partner Share = $720 [Net]

Expenses:
120 Boxes (Batches) of Mix @1.00 = $120
Vegetable Oil (2 ounces per Batch @$.09/ounce) = $21.16
Stickers (1440 @ $.03/sticker) = $43.20
Eggs (120 @$.16/egg) = $20
Cling Wrap (3 boxes of 200 sq.f.) = $10.50
Total = $215.30

EBITDA: $504.70

Your share of BrownieLuv is now worth roughly $403.76. Your investor friend's stake is now worth $100.94, a 5000% increase in the value of her initial investment.
