Can your product solve some social problem?

And for me technology exists for that! So what if we think at least in these days what every software, application or solution could do if its function was exclusively to help the next one? What persistent social problem could your product solve? I think it's super cool for AI to be used in museums but it would be cooler if it was used to help people get a job or reduce food waste. I find the maximum mobility applications but how many others could not exist to connect people in need of what others are willing to share, whatever the hell. There are infinite possibilities right before our eyes. You just have to want to see.

But continuing. What do these companies do anyway? Ok, 16% are e-commerce companies or marketplaces but what about the rest? I discovered that 13% are fintechs and + 13% Internet Software ...

Turnover over time. What's on Google and Amazon?

Isn't that something?
