Many of the problems stated might also be opportunities for innovation and disruption.

General advice though for any startup without getting into the specifics of any industry is to build an audience first if you can. You'll have a major head start on traction if you do, this can take a few forms but presenting yourself as a thought leader in the space you're looking to create a startup in is the best way, this could be via a newsletter, blog, podcast or general social media presence.

You can then use that platform to interact with your audience to find problems and ideas that resonate with them, and look at forming a startup and product ideas around that.
