For me, there are two companies I'd like to work for or build in my life time: Personalized Health Care and "moonshot" infrastructure projects (for lack of better wording).
Personalized Health Care - I'd love to work at a company that helps people be rid of diseases for an affordable cost. Ideally, we'd make big bets on understanding the genetic makeup of individuals and create drugs/therapies based on that make up. This would probably combine some interests of mine such as supercomputing, machine/deep learning, biotechnology, and a modern healthcare system to achieve this.
"Moonshot" Infrastructure - This is sort of similar to the Hyperloop stuff in a way. I think I'd really like to be part of a company that helps build the vision of what we thought it would be like when we grew up. Not necessarily flying cars but modernized & rapid transportation systems, incredible carbon-neutral buildings, robotics, etc.
Seems like my theme would be build the future I thought we'd have. Any company that contributes in a substantial way to progressing us towards something better than we had today, something meaningful, something memorable.
- maxerickson 11y agoThe dynamics of health care and technology are sort of fascinating. It's not clear to me that a cheap, effective cure for a particular disease does anything other than create more future demand for health care. (Which I guess is an oblique way of pondering whether the mission you state is really any different than health research in general, with it being impossible to really see the advances because of all the generated demand)
