Ask HN: What markets should be disrupted?

• mgav 11y ago
  Another one ripe for disruption is real estate in robust urban markets (lots of well-informed buyers and sellers, combined with realtor fees that, in some circumstances, are WAY too high (e.g., a desirable well-priced property that sells in a week).

    But Trulia/Zillow provide pretty good information on Urban market. What's missing?

  Does someone have a good list of industries and sub-industries with sizes? Could be an interesting starting point?
  • dpaluy 11y ago
    The list from Quora: Agriculture Business intelligence Construction Consumer banking Credit reporting Data informatics Education Finance Grocery Ready to Eat Meals Healthcare Human Resources / Talent Management Insurance Intellectual property Legal services Mattresses Music information News Packaging Payments Politics Remittances Settling Disputes-- Arbitration, mediation, court of peers Shipping Sports Gaming Sports Media Rights Travel Waste management (human waste)

  Curry houses & chinese restaurants. Pizza Express, Ask, Nandos: so many restaurant sub sectors have been taken over by chains running economies of scale. Why not Indian and Chinese?
  • dpaluy 11y ago
    I believe that Indian/Chinese restaurants try to provide a quality over quantity. And it's difficult to scale the quality in food market.
