Looking for Ideas for Impact Entrepreneurship
2 points by aerugo_ 688 days ago
A developer, a product manager and a data analyst walk into a bar... All setup, no joke. Actually they're there looking for advice.

Suppose there are three co-founders looking for a problem to solve. Suppose we want to start a business that makes a positive impact on the world. Suppose we have expertise and experience in the following areas: Web development, applications of AI and ML, data science and analytics, product management, e-commerce, direct-to-consumer product development and sales, blockchain technologies, community engagement, personal development and leadership. Educational background from top-tier engineering school in automation, biotechnology, and business development.

I'm looking for ideas to fall in love with. If you have one you want to share, I would be incredibly grateful.

I like hanging out in bars. So how about you guys head to a bar near a Boeing manufacturing site and chat to the factory floor workers. You'll hear about many problems and amongst them there will be some that you can solve with your combined talents. If heading to Seattle is inconvenient, any major factory site will do.
I love this idea, and will definitely do this.
