I am surprised that you honestly can't tell. I find this sincere. There are a few such things on the list, like modern firefighting and renewable energy from engineering microbes. So if we aren't cherry-picking, it's a varied

I think the reason is that it's a local arbitrage, and it's limited in sypply. He is buying from his local stores, who probably have limited amount of such products on sale. So there's probably room for more doing the same st

Great points, I might write a follow-up with that, as that is something we certainly experienced, certainly after YC. I'll take the gist here. On visa. YC introduces you to a great lawyer, who has an incredibly success rate. It costs
