ADA Compliance Pursuit

A business model that systematically files ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance lawsuits against e-commerce websites that aren't properly accessible to users with disabilities, similar to how law firms currently target this space.

Key Points:

• Target Market:

  • E-commerce companies doing over $10M in revenue
  • Companies with accessibility compliance violations
  • New AI companies with potential IP violations

• Current Market Dynamics:

  • Law firms automate filing these cases
  • Use same 6 plaintiff names repeatedly
  • Cases typically settle for $10-20k
  • Companies usually can't fight it, forced to settle

• Revenue Model:

  • File multiple cases daily
  • Quick settlements from companies
  • Additional revenue from selling compliance software
    • Companies pay ~$1,000/month for compliance apps
    • Recurring revenue from ongoing compliance needs

• Business Structure:

  • Operate like existing law firms in this space
  • Automate the process of finding violations
  • Scale by filing cases against multiple companies
  • Focus on clear violations that lead to quick settlements

• Expansion Opportunity:

  • Apply same model to AI companies
  • Target IP violations (like AI art generation)
  • Focus on gray areas in AI legal compliance

Note: The speaker presents this as a somewhat cynical business opportunity, acknowledging it as a "frivolous lawsuit" concept while noting its proven profitability in the current market.
