Stripe for X (Integration Startup)
Stripe was acquired with \$Bn valuation by taking all of the banks in the world and unifying them under one developer-friendly API, this can probably be done for lots of other disparate industries
On-Site was acquired for \$250m, as it took all of the property management software and unified it under one API.
Potential Industries: - Intergation of all HR Systems - Integration of Tax Software - Integrating Salesforce and all the CRMs
Integrating Project Management Tools
Anything that is an oligopoly could be subject to this.
Integrate government services like taxes loans assistance, social security, car registration. Provide automatic reminders, proxy services in case they go down and for convenience.
Exceptional Plugins for Enterprise Apps Used Today. Paid plugins for:
Gitlab (what is on Github that isn’t in Gitlab that makes money?)
Google Docs
Google Business Directory
Salesforce
Gmail
GitHub
Slack (Like CodeDog)
Zoom
A VSCode extension to integrate with other services. Or to use ML to work on your code
Slack Bot that reports on code churn and other interesting metrics to demonstrate which parts of the codebase are least maintainable. Could work with both Github and Gitlab. Could employ all of the ideas from the “Reviews Using Git” article that was used before to point out that Assay Upload Manager wasn’t maintainable. The bot could also report on problem areas that seem to keep creating bugs. And start to identify when things started going downhill.
Electric Guns. Coil Guns being a starting point. It seems like we could be in the cusp of these becoming a reality, based on the technology we have. They are currently being made by hobbyists as “Air Guns”. But no dominant company is trying to make them as real firearms. There seems to be small technology gaps to get this to be mass-produced. Could imitate fun designs from Sci-Fi films. See Kel-Tec designs as well for inspiration.
Flood Walls this is another issue that the world will need technology for. To start becoming experts in this field, we
GitHub of space - right now you can only begin to think about getting into space if you’re a large company but what if we created smaller modular components that could be used to work up to getting into space. We could eventually build small scale rockets that go into space. Start an open source software platform for controlling different flight modules like gimbaling. Make small scale experimental rockets like aero spikes. Or multi-stage combustion engines. Eventually work our way up to building Low Earth Orbiting drones that can launch and return to Earth. This could enable:
Reduced barrier to entry for space-based start ups
Reducing the ramp up time for smaller companies to do business in space
Proliferation of advanced rocket technology to be more widely available
Proliferation of advanced rocketry software systems to perform sophisticated tasks like custom avionics systems, gimbal control, radio gps systems, Ethernet based internal wiring harnesses, long distance telemetry, control systems and analytics
Increase lift demand to send smaller testing instruments to space or perform experiments
GitHub for Electric Cars
Making better scientific instruments
Making a better version of the FluidX 2D scanner with really good integration points and a really good API
Maybe a rack that can auto scan what’s inside of it
Beat Logitech at their own game
Exceptional hardware accessories
Cutting edge Webcams for streaming with great software
New mouse and keyboard designs
Look into any news sources in 2015 that mention things like like, “We’re 5 years away from having this technology” and determine where that technology is and if it is feasible to bring to market
A better Amazon past purchases user interface and subscription manager with Expensify integration
Universal integration for time trackers
Universal integration for project management software
No Code consulting
Charge for integrations between Notion and other productivity tools
Create an iPad app that úsese hosted VS Code along with hosted server and compute space. Charge as a SaaS tool with different tiers. Include a free tier for students that have built in tutorials and helpers
Create iPad Pro apps that encompass other aspects of development. Like for databases and Docker management, Postman, GraphiQL, etcetera
Create really nice GUI apps for Amazon AWS Service management
Dead link finder as a service - Go through a list of dead links on a website, inside of Markdown files, or inside of documentation. Find dead links to your site from outside the web
A better interface for Google Analytics. Everyone likes Google Analytics, but everyone thinks the interface is too complicated and it is too broad. Find common uses of Google Analytics and sell seperate services or alternative UIs for it
A better interface for Datadog. Everyone likes Datadog, but everyone thinks the interface is too complicated and it is too broad. Find common uses of Datadog and sell seperate services or alternative UIs for it
Upgrade dependencies as a service, this already exists but we might be able to do it better
Provide a UI for helping determine AWS needs computing needs and picking out what types of EC2 instances are best. Something that also auto-scales or recommends scaling and manages terraform - a UI for Terraform
A frontend UI like K9s written in Swift (see also: Lens), but one that is paid only and has much better more advanced features. Like much better updating, better integrated dashboards and visualizations, a better built-in editor, with helm templating support. Port forwarding features, and more. Charge $49.99 for the app, or $99.99 for the app.
A really good user interface IDE for dealing with YAML that isn't YAML since YAML sucks so bad. Maybe something that is much more heavy on the user interface.
A competitor to HubSpot or Salesforce for sales calls, that tracks the calls you are on, and records them. Runs machines learning to identify who the speakers on the sales calls are, identify the dialogue, and analyze the vocal tones and emotions. This can then be used to quickly determine whether a conversation is going off the rails. Immediately identify if a sale is likely to happen based on the tone and intonation of the first 'hello'. Suggest things to say that might make things go along smoother. Attempt to generate and update cold call scripts based on success rates. Build up a data bank of voice recordings - if enough built up, the data bank of sales calls alone will be an extremely valuable asset worth millions.
A better design for garage doors. Garage doors aren’t very smart. They have those nasty metal bars and all the crap hanging from the ceiling. They’re noisy and designed poorly. They could be much better design with much sleeker framing. The front of the doors could be glass or solar panels, which could be used to charge and power the door. They way they open is also not very diverse and they could stand to have more interesting ways of being opened. Look to Nest to get inspiration on things we could do. Also, the communication mechanism and car integration could be a lot more interesting and sleek. Could have it be hooked up to IIFTT. Use a lot more interesting technology, maybe put cameras in it for parking assist and a built in security camera. It using solar panels might actually be helpful because the door is always going to be so close to the electrical panel in the garage.
Windshield projection augmented reality projector that can be installed at the back of a car and project directions and what not in a windshield
A platform for E-VTOLs to manage power, take-off, landing, etcetera. That can be sold or licensed for an E-VTOL product: https://youtu.be/ruyRlw9_5VA
