Who is the target customer?

Environmentally conscious individuals, apartment dwellers, hoarders of unusual things, and owners of heavily shedding pets (or themselves). On the other side are aspiring artists who need lint to create their art installations.

Exploits the global abundance of a useless byproduct. Taps into the growing desire for sustainable practices and offers a novel solution to a very specific (and very annoying) problem. The art angle provides media attention and potential for high-value sales.

What is the biggest risk?

Public perception of lint as inherently disgusting, low participation from artists (or high expectations of remuneration), and potential regulations around the handling and transportation of laundry lint.

Laundry lint is a global epidemic of fuzzy waste choking drains, polluting microplastics into oceans, and generally being a nuisance. Current lint traps are inefficient and aesthetically displeasing.

2 monthsTransaction fees on each lint harvest transaction and a percentage of art installation sales.

The Solution

LintLords is a marketplace connecting individuals with laundry lint harvesting services. Users post photos of their lint-filled traps, and 'LintLords' bid to collect the lint. The lint is then used to create absurd art installations that are sold to niche art collectors.
