This is addressed in the post. For example, New Jersey has 9 million people. Denmark 5 million. Why have other countries or states not achieved the same thing if size is the main driver?

I originally sent this out to the founders of companies I know. To your point it can apply more broadly. Many larger company boards have already discussed this, but many startups have small or no boards to bring this up (hence the email I o

Which of these do you think are farthest along? Gene therapy seems to be working a little bit in ex-vivo approaches (you take cells out, modify them, and put them back in, largely in the immune system) but progress elsewhere is very limited

Ah - you are right. Thanks for catching the misinterpretation on my end.

One could argue that for most non-engineers, non-DIY is crucial for most products. For example, in the 90s a lot of people thought everyone would host their own email servers. In reality, consumers flocked to Y! mail and later Gmail, since

Agreed on not crazy ambitious for most of these. Honestly, this really is just a list of products I would like to use (with 1 or 2 exceptions). There are a lot of things that should exist but are harder to do: -Safe, cheap nuclear power -

It is surprising how little has been done here. A failure of the pharma/academic model perhaps. I am going to write more on why biotech does not innovate as much as it could, in another post.

This is purposeful. These are just some products I want. There are a lot of things that should exist but are harder to do: -Safe, cheap nuclear power -Longevity drugs (I am involved with two companies in that area) -Independent journalism

It is a big shift and I could be wrong. However, horses are also something we used for transportation going back to the beginning of recorded history... (lots of other examples too). Crypto has a lot of aspects that make for a superior stor

For 2015 I listed out: "Gold markets" -Big data (with emphasis on things like Cloudera (~$3B co), Mesosphere) -SaaS with an emphasis on APIs and Dev Tools -Genomics And then a set of markets I thought would be smaller or binary. F

I agree there may be some hindsight bias. At the beginning of this blog post I call it out as well: "Sometimes this creates a very backwards looking view, as the most obvious signals are in companies that have been working well for a f

Unfortunately my book focuses on the stages right after that - i.e. you have traction and need to scale. There are some good things written on this topic that you have probably seen - e.g. Paul Graham has some great posts on this as do Sam

Wow thanks! I think the two key things are to (1) spend time where hypersmart, slightly weird people are and (2) focus on markets with real (versus theoretical) needs...
