Just listened to a podcast with a VC who applied this pattern to nuclear power. The big problem, which almost nobody was investing to solve, was nuclear waste. He went out, attended a number of nuclear power events, and found some people who thought they had a productive attack. They did, and after he threw some money at them, ended up with a 40 or so X return.
