      The holy grail in startups is discovering a problem that everyone has a different solution for, and no one is happy with it. There are still way more of these markets than we realize.

      "a problem that everyone has a different solution for, and no one is happy with it" Hi Aaron, my startup is called "Government" and I'm raising $300m @ $5b pre. Best email for you?

      You're joking, but solving problems that used to be solved by governments is an extremely promising area for startups. SpaceX for example.

          Yes! And there are some parts of gov't that want to get closer to industry, understand emerging technologies so they can be better customers, & develop relationships with likeminded future gov't leaders:https://twitter.com/MikeSlagh/status/1305873847330025472?s=20 …

          Hard to compete with government services that are free. Not impossible but difficult. If you break through, that can provide a moat however

          Before you folks disrupt capital-G Government it would be great if somebody could double back and create a reliable wifi printer connection. I would trade SpaceX for this.
