-I'd like a platform where non-tech folks can get honest, reliable help with things like buying crypto and setting up the secure section on a Samsung Galaxy.

-I'd like the ability to buy insurance as needed. Imagine that you are going to a new neighborhood and you are worried about being harmed and you were able to buy short -term catastrophic insurance that lasted for a few days.

-I'd like a platform that listed independent bankers (financing pros etc) who could help you buy businesses, create proposals for M&A without all the crap of LinkedIn, or large projects.

-I'd like a way to contact professionals who could answer questions about products I'm interested in building that wouldn't get them in trouble. Like Codementor but for everything.

Those are just the first four, but I have no idea how/or even whether or not anyone and help with these things. Each platform seems to quickly turn to yuck...overrun with crappy ads and tons of bad actors who don't actually seem all that interested in helping anyone but themselves.
