Spillproof

✦ Concept

A platform where home cooks livestream their recipe failures and disasters in real-time, with viewers paying to vote on recovery tactics or ingredient substitutions. Think Twitch for kitchen catastrophes where the entertainment value is the mess, not the perfection.

Target

Amateur home cooks aged 25-45 who embrace cooking failures and find them entertaining rather than embarrassing

Revenue

$2.99 per stream to vote on disaster recovery options, plus $0.99 tips for particularly spectacular failures

💡 Why It Works

"People already film their cooking disasters for social media for free, but there's no monetization for the entertainment value of real-time problem-solving under pressure."
