Hi melony, this is an interesting comment that carries some truth. May I ask where you are coming from to make to make these statements? You are definitely right that one needs a larger, expensive capex based platform to make a dent with chemistry. What combination of physical chemistry and *Umph/some other process would you look into?

No experience with high-level chemistry. Had training in both life science and software engineering. Standard premed science major chemistry experience. Business experience in chemical engineering fields What sort of science vertical do you specialise in? Any links to your startup? > What combination of physical chemistry and Umph/some other process would you look into? I can't speak for chemistry but pre-COVID, "cloud laboratories" and "bioreactors-as-as-service" were really hot in the biotech field. I suppose something similar can be done for chemistry. Lego mindstorms style kits for flow chemistry could also be interesting. As for teaching chemistry, I am not sure how the process can be improved. I suppose focusing more on conceptual understanding rather than intuition would be helpful. The amount of knowledge that is needed as a foundation before you can do anything useful in organic chemistry is magnitudes greater than physical. If it can be googled in under a minute, don't expect students to memorize it. Physical is much more straightforward, learn the periodic table and be good at applied math and you are set. You can train chemical engineers as easily as web developers in a bootcamp (given the right STEM background). Good organic chemists are much trickier.
