The problem I seem to have when trying to find a business opportunity is that I’m unaware of the true problems that need solving. Sure there’s things like sustainable energy solutions, or improvements to urban planning, but these either already have billions pumped into research, or have a super high barrier to entry - be it financial or academical.
I’m well acquainted with first principles thinking, but it doesn’t serve much use when you have no problems to apply it to. I can create scenarios that’s I think are problems, but in hindsight they are just a means to an end - a problem for the sake of a problem, with no true benefit.
What piece of the puzzle am I missing?
Ok I will give you one of my ideas. Rather than guzzle four gallons of water in the morning. I want to invent a water dripper that has a straw where I would be able to take a swig of water when I wake in the middle of the night.
