There are tons of problems to solve. - Invest in some products or teams that already exist and learn their problems and come up with a solution that is needed or partner with them. - Reinvent a common pain point in business with service or automation, pay or observe people in industries you want to enter and their problems. - Find a problem you have or know about maybe in private equity, computer science or bizdev that you have experienced. - Innovate/iterate on a solution in the market that needs progression, this might even be a crowded market or a commodity that may be easier to change due to the lack of interest there. There are no new ideas under the sun but there is lost of improvement that can be made. - Find a passion project, create a tool that targets a niche area of something you like to keep your interest i.e. movies, art, games, finance, sports etc. Spend enough time there and problems will be self-evident. - The problem you are having right now, maybe make a solution to that, finding an idea that is marketable for a well funded team (a great problem to have).
