Startup idea: consumer cat genomics; initial hook, ancestry & basket of cat psychoactives (catnip+valerian+silvervine+honeysuckle+thyme+Buckbean+...) for response GWAS & predict alternatives to catnip. Then can develop larger dataset of health/domestication/stress for breeding.

Startup idea: ceiling-mounted infrared beam emitters+camera, steered by segmenting CNN: it automatically detects & warms up the bare skin segments of female objects until thermal equilibrium of 37.5°C - thereby resolving the Great Office Thermostat Wars once and for all.

Startup idea: there's one big-money sport which depends enormously on a single exaggerated highly-heritable highly-PGS-predictable trait: basketball. Screen kids' SNPs and sell contact info to NBA recruiters seeking to build a relationship & loyalty years ahead of competitors.

Replying to @gwern

Somewhat similar. The idea here though is that in young enough kids, correlation with adult traits is so low that PGSes actually do become useful (I give an IQ example in https://www.gwern.net/Hunter ). Their video analysis would have the same issue: predicts present but not future.
