I'm convinced that Gen Z verticalized communities are one of the fastest paths to $1M+ in revenue - whether as a side hustle, bootstrapped startup, or venture-backed business. Here's why 👇 🌟 Look at TKS (The Knowledge Society) - charging $489/month + $1k deposit with 4,000+ active students. That's $24M+ annual revenue potential from a program focused on ambitious 13-17 year olds. 🌟 Ali Abdaal's Part-Time YouTuber Academy: 1,500+ students paying $1,499 per cohort = $2.2M+ per cohort teaching creator skills to young audiences. 🌟 Even micro-communities are crushing it - saw a TikToker selling out coffee experiences in her condo repeatedly. Imagine turning that into a $150/year "Serendipitous Society" membership with exclusive tastings, merch, and content. The business model is proven: - Low overhead (mainly community management) - High margins (digital-first with strategic IRL moments) - Sticky revenue (annual memberships) - Network effects (value increases with member quality) We're seeing this explode across verticals: - ZCON (Gen Z conference backed by LinkedIn, Yahoo, Spotify) - Creator Economy NYC (monetizing through brand partnerships) - The PR Habitat (PR professionals) - Her Game Plan (sports) - The Z List (consumer) - Build Clubs (AI) My prediction: By 2025, every profession will have its verticalized community involving Gen Z. Charge $1k/year, get 1,000 members = $1M revenue with minimal overhead. The playbook is simple but execution is key: 1. Pick your niche 2. Curate high-signal members 3. Create exclusive experiences 4. Add brand partnerships 5. Scale thoughtfully I run GenZtea, a global community across 21 countries, and I've never been more bullish on the space as we are partnering with big brands + universities. The opportunity is massive and we're just getting started.
