Yes, many businesses did start and succeed in the great depression. For example, fortunes were made in supplying liquor to the masses who needed a means of relaxing from all the stress. Other businesses which provided a temporary distraction from the hardships of daily life in the depression also prospered. The movie business is a good example of this. Publishers of dime store novels also did well.

My suggestion it to look for businesses which supply life's necessities to consumers and communities. Food, clothing, alternative energy technology, and diversions such as booze and entertainment, should be on your list of opportunities to explore.

If you already run a business look for ways to collaborate with other businesses. This can result in increased revenues via cross marketing and joint venture opportunities. It can also lead to decreased operating costs through price breaks negotiated for larger group buys, cost sharing arrangements, and preferred buyer pricing for group members.

Many American businesses are now exploring collaborative business models such as the Japanese keiretsu or "industry aggregation" models.
