Most startups I see are solving first world problems.

Ignoring the fact that there are billions of starving people.

Isn't the internet a first-world phenomenon? How can a starving person access the web through an $X00 device?

The gap between the 'top 1%' in America and the rest of us, is as nothing compared with the gap between America and the third world.
