Everything has already been said about this subject. Looking at it as a technology problem, it's not a novel problem, i think every advanced and successful society has dealt with it in the past. In ancient athens, Solon's 'technological' solution was to create state brothels for everyone with regulated prices. Rome's foundational myth contains the abduction of the Sabine women, which fulfilled the needs of Roman incel warriors for wives. Victorian age london was full of brothels. The second part of this 'technological' solution was the subjugation of women.
Nowadays, as the article says, it's hard to deny that the problem exists, but it's fair to say that the solutions above are not going to recur in any advanced society. However, we do have sex tech that is advancing by leaps, and we should be able to solve the physical/sexual part of the problem soon. We don't have a tech solution for the intimacy deficit, but I think that it can be dealt with alternative bonds and more generally with doing things that are fulfilling. We are not far from the first ex utero children, which should contribute to solving that intimacy deficit.
Now, i don't know how many startups are working in this area at the moment; there are definetly some teledildonics companies.
