This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

The usual rules apply:

I don't think you realize how heavy adult trees are. They'd probably also not survive. Also, maple sugaring (how to get syrup) only really works when the sap runs and the sap only runs that way at certain times of years and in certain climates. And that sap is like a 40:1 ratio of water to good stuff, assuming you even got the right variety of maple.

INCREASE THE VALUATION IMMEDIATELY AND RAISE MORE CAPITAL. PROBLEM SOLVED.

OP has never lived somewhere with maple trees. Those things reproduce prodigiously. Once a year every year, my whole landscaping job is to pull out maple seedlings.

This makes the idea even more shitty. Crumbgrabber for the win.

I’d rather have the maple syrup than eggs. 🤷‍♂️
