The solution to every problem is a startup. Here are three problems I’m itching to solve. If you’re working in any of these areas, hit me up… 

1. Capturing Data on Mass Production. I dream of androids in factories making us everything we need. But to do that, we need very specialized data.
   
   I’m looking for startups that are collecting data from factories to help train AI models.
   
   You could have the workers wear something like Meta Ray-Bans, which would capture their movements. But that could be very controversial — the workers will know you’re trying to replace them.
   
   A better approach might be to outfit factories with tons of high-res cameras. They could capture everything that happens and use it to train AI.
   
   You could even create small factories solely for AI training. The purpose of these factories would be to generate data on production processes, not to make actual products.
   
   A good place to start is textiles. This is one of the simplest forms of manufacturing. When a country begins to industrialize, they often start with textiles.
   
   Replacing factory workers will be a painful transition at first. But you can’t stop progress.
   
   What if we’d never adopted tractors for fear of displacing farm workers? We’d all still be doing back-breaking labor on farms, barely scraping by.
   
2. Help for Endometriosis/PCOS. Hundreds of millions of women worldwide suffer from endometriosis and polycystic ovary system (PCOS). These conditions are major causes of pain and infertility.
   
   What if a platform could help women get better treatment? It could guide women to specialists and help them with medication and lifestyle changes.
   
   In the world of startups, we look for big opportunities. Helping hundreds of millions of people avoid crippling pain is one of the biggest opportunities I can think of.
   
   Moreover, fertility across much of the world is at rock bottom. Better care for women with these conditions would make it easier for people to start families.
   
3. Superpower for Dogs. As much as we love our pets, the care available for them is rudimentary.
   
   Humans have services like Superpower, which provide tons of lab tests and health advice. We need Superpower for Dogs.
   
   I’m picturing a platform that would get dogs lab tests, telehealth visits with vets, and in-person appointments. The platform could make a deal with certain vets to get a bulk discount.
   
   Veterinary care these days is incredibly expensive. Superpower for Dogs could help. 

Wrap-Up

We’re really lucky here in startupland. Every day, we have an opportunity to solve the world’s biggest problems.

Automating manufacturing, helping women have better health and fertility, and helping our little friends live longer — these are three problems I’d love to solve.
