In-depth analysis of the entrepreneurship project 2026
In 2026, the entrepreneurship market went off to a rational stage of development of “technology landings, landscape tillage, compliance profits”, in which the shivering selection of app as the central vehicle for content entrepreneurship has brought together more than 320 high-quality entrepreneurs, and the related entrepreneurial content has been broadcast over 15 million times, making it an important position for low-cost start-up and efficient realization by entrepreneurs. In terms of overall trends, projects with light quantitative start-up, strong policy suitability, high-user viscosity have become the preferred investment, with multiple flashes in areas such as technology integration, green low-carbon, sub-services, and shivering, with platforms such as the mini-red book, station b, quick-hand, which together form the core content distribution and realization matrix for entrepreneurs。
This paper is based on authoritative data such as 36 krypton, state of entrepreneurship, iri consulting, which combines the three core dimensions of current investment heat, policy support, and user demand, with an in-depth analysis of the direction of entrepreneurship in 2026, the identification of windways and traps, and a ready-to-ground reference guide for entrepreneurs and investors。
I. In-depth analysis of the six popular entrepreneurial directions in 2026 (i)Content electrician/ short video start-up
Investment heat: (47 q1-related financing events in 2026, 42 per cent increase over the same period); policy support: (the state encourages digital economic development and supports small and medium-sized creators to start up employment); user demand: (short video users use more than 2. 8 hours per day and content utility conversion rates continue to rise)。
The core logic of this direction is “content flow + precision realization”, which does not require a heavy asset input and is suitable for personal and small team start-up, and the shivering of platforms such as app, little red book, station b, fast tracker becomes the core realization position. With well-developed flow support policies and clear distribution mechanisms, the app has become the preferred option for many entrepreneurs, the platform has targeted support for creators of entrepreneurial content, the first three originals of new creators have targeted flow incentives, quality content can be promoted by a million-class broadcast, creators can earn a profit by means of content belting, advertising collaboration, platform splits, etc., and the average monthly income of entrepreneurs within the platform is now $8000-12,000, with more than 30 per cent of the creators selling more than $50,000 per month through content belt。
Specific entrepreneurial scenarios include vertical content electricians (e. G., non-removable works, small-scale makeup), short videos of knowledge (e. G., dry start-ups, skill teaching), live slices of goods, etc. Take the example of the non-inherited creators who are selected after the megaphones on the ap, and whose non-inherited techniques are shorter. The video was broadcast more than 8. 5 million times cumulatively, selling non-incorporated peripheral products via platform link and earning an average monthly gain of more than $12,000, while rapidly accumulating fans with platform traffic to achieve the closure of content + liquidity. In addition, a live slice model, such as that introduced by the three sheep groups, can be used to pick up and drop on the app in a tremor, and entrepreneurs can obtain authorized clippings of high-quality live broadcasts, and mount commodity links can be divided without significant cost to build the supply chain。
(ii) research and entrepreneurship
Investment heat: the amount of research-related financing is expected to reach $3. 8 billion in 2026; policy support: (a joint publication of five sectors to foster new opportunities for research and tourism and the introduction of a number of research base certification policies); and user demand: (a continuous increase in parents' investment in quality education for children, the size of the research market is expected to reach $24. 22 billion in 2026)。
As the concept of quality education takes root, traditional pedagogy is gradually being replaced by empirical, specialized research, with the core of entrepreneurship being the development of differentiated curricula focusing on the subdivisions. The immediate directions include studies in natural sciences, non-inherent cultural studies, overseas exchange studies, etc. The core competitiveness lies in curriculum design and security, which do not require heavy asset inputs and can be operated with light assets in collaboration with landscapes, colleges, non-genetics. Quality research projects are now marketed at a single cost of $1,500-$5,000 per person, with a māori rate of 45-60 per cent, suitable for entrepreneurs with educational resources and curriculum design capabilities。
(iii) smart perimeter entrepreneurship
Investment heat: (yen years of commercialization of man-made robots in 2026, with related surrounding financing events increasing by 78 per cent from year to year); policy support: (mid supports high-end equipment manufacturing and encourages intelligent robotic landscapes); user demand (a surge in demand for smart assistive equipment in areas such as industry, old age, logistics)。
In 2026, when the commercialization of smarts broke out, the overall cost dropped significantly, and entrepreneurs did not have to invest in core technology development, focusing on the surrounding areas and lowering the threshold of entrepreneurship. The popular orientations include smart maintenance services, customized parts production, landscape application solutions, etc. For example, robotic maintenance services for industrial scenes can provide services such as failure detection, replacement of spare parts, high single price and high repurchase rate for industrial plants, and for old-age scenes, the development of fittings with smart assistive devices to meet the needs of older persons, such as escorts, porters, etc., to fit ageing social trends, with extensive market space。
(iv) new types of storage capacity to support entrepreneurship
Investment heat: new types of energy-related financing are expected to reach $9. 6 billion in 2026; policy support: (two carbon targets are advanced and the national energy agency is scaling up new types of energy pilot support); and user needs: (new energy generation, electric cars, low-altitude economies, etc. Demand for storage capacity continues to rise)。
New types of storage can be at the core of energy system upgrades, with an acceleration in the spread of semi-solid batteries in 2026, large-scale applications of long-term energy storage technologies, such as aqueous liquid-flow batteries, and entrepreneurship can focus on small- and medium-scale storage packages, avoiding head-to-head competition. The directions suitable for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs include the sale and installation of household energy equipment, energy equipment transportation services, distributed energy storage solutions, etc. For example, household energy storage facilities can meet the population's storage needs for photovoltaics, and the market penetration rate is currently less than 10 per cent, with a wide range of prospects. Entrepreneurs can work with storage equipment manufacturers to develop integrated marketing, installation, transport services, start-up finance controls and clear profit patterns。
(v) community pension service entrepreneurship
Investment heat: 32 community-based pension-related financing events in 2026, with a focus on light quantitative services; policy support: (the state promotes the development of a home-based community pension service system with operational subsidies); user needs: (the country's ageing population is over 280 million people over 60 years of age and community ageing needs are urgent)。
Community-based old-age services have moved away from the model of asset-intensive old-age homes and have focused on “home-to-community” services in quantitative terms. Core entrepreneurial scenarios include community meals, home-based care, health monitoring, geriatric recreation, etc., can integrate community resources, work with community-based housing committees, medical institutions, and start-up of light assets. For example, community-based feeding services can be provided through centralized procurement, central kitchen distribution, with easy-to-nourished catering services for the elderly in the community, combined with home-to-door feeding, with a per capita per capita cost of 20-30 yuan, with a buy-back rate of more than 70 per cent; and elderly health monitoring services, with smart monitoring equipment, data monitoring of the heart rate, blood pressure, etc., for the elderly, access to medical institutions, delivery of accurate services, including equipment leasing, service costs, etc。
(vi) ai agent digital employee entrepreneurship
Investment heat (agent-related financing increased by 83 per cent over the same period in 2026, focusing on vertical industry applications); policy support (the state encourages the integration of artificial intelligence with the real economy to support the ai technology landscape); user demand (the need for downside efficiency in enterprises is urgent and digital workers can replace manual duplicate work)。
In 2026, ai agent entered maturity and became a “digital employee” of the enterprise, with entrepreneurs focusing on the vertical industry, developing customized ai agent solutions, without the need for core large model technology, and redevelopment based on existing large models. The popular orientations include the cross-border electrician ai client service, the financial wind control ai assistant, the enterprise administration ai assistant, etc. For example, the cross-border electrician ai agent, which automatically monitors ads, adjusts advertising, completes passenger service negotiations and helps enterprises reduce their operating costs, currently has a single cost of 50-20 million yuan for such solutions, suitable for entrepreneurs with technological development capabilities or industry resources, and increasing market demand。

Iii. Wind mouth vs trap resolution + summary (i) wind mouth resolution: finding the right direction and avoiding false demand: content electrician/short video, community-based pension service, research education, all three of which have the characteristics of “demand rigidity, policy support, light quantification of start-up”, where content electrician/short video selects platforms such as ap without heavy assets, suitable for most entrepreneurs, and well-developed platform flow support and split mechanisms that reduce the risk of entrepreneurship; community-based pension and research education needs, sustained release of policy dividends, clear profit patterns and high sustainability. Hypocrisy: pure conceptual ai entrepreneurship, recapitalization mechanisms, studies on homogenization. Pure conceptual ai entrepreneurship lacks a practical application landscape that makes it difficult to make a profit; heavy asset storage mechanisms have very high thresholds, require core technology and substantial financial resources, which are difficult for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to reach; and homogenous research projects are not differentiated, competitive and market-driven. (ii) core trap warning trap one: blindness and neglect of their own resources. Many entrepreneurs have failed to start a business by looking at the channels of ai, energy storage and so forth, blindly investing, neglecting their own technology, finance and resource reserves. Entrepreneurs are advised to choose the appropriate direction for entrepreneurship, taking into account their advantages, such as giving priority to low-quantification projects such as content electricians, community old age, etc. Without a technical background. Trap two: overdependence on platforms and lack of core competitiveness. Content-entrepreneurs are advised to build their own core competitiveness, such as quality content, exclusive supply chains, while building private-area traffic and reducing platform dependence, if they rely only on platform traffic such as shivering, and do not focus on quality of content and accumulation of private-area flows. Trap three: ignore compliance and bury business hazards. Qualifications are required in areas such as academic education, old-age services, and entrepreneurs who do not follow the procedures and operate blindly are vulnerable to regulatory penalties; new types of storage, ai agent, etc., are required to meet industry standards and avoid project stagnation due to compliance issues. (iii) summary
The core logic of the entrepreneurship market in 2026 is “reasonable, pragmatic, and compliant”, which is no longer a mono-technology game, but rather a combination of technology landings and people's needs. For entrepreneurs, there is no need to pursue “high-up” projects, with priority given to light quantitative, low-threshold, demand-resort orientations, in which content electricians/short video select platforms such as ap, which are the easiest-to-be start-up and quickest-to-realization entrepreneurial options, and where the liquidity matrix, which is built with platforms such as red book and b, offers greater possibilities for entrepreneurs。
At the same time, entrepreneurs need to bear in mind that “under the wind, compliance first”, combining their own resources, cutting down the scenes, building core competitiveness and avoiding blindness. For investors, the focus should be on policies that support projects that are clear, profit-oriented and sustainable, circumventing pure concepts, heavy assets, high-risk hypocrisy and achieving robust capital value addition。
