I have been sitting on a startup idea in combination of use cases of something like meetup and similar to what WeWork does for a 2+ years. I have no business expertise so any hypothetical chance of success would have been very small, nevertheless I feel like it's been a missed opportunity for me. Would be interesting to see if they go into the route I was thinking of and manage to make something big.

A friend was in a similar situation (he was in BD at a quant hedge fund) and had been doing research for over a year when he discovered a ~50 person company doing exactly his idea. He cold emailed the CEO, the CEO was surprised that someone in the wild was excited about their esoteric idea, they continued to talk, and said friend eventually joined as their head of product after a few months.

Just saying that this is a route available to you if you're so inclined and your life circumstances allow you to take this path.
