The Secret To Creating A Huge Company, According To Peter Thiel
Alana Kakoyiannis
Someone in the audience asked him what're the top 3 unsolved problems that have the potential to become a successful and monopolistic startup in their field.
He mentioned a couple, such as the challenge of finding cheap and clean energy, as well as several diseases that still need cures, like Alzheimer's'.
But there's something else people need to keep in mind when starting a business.
"It's always which problems are you really passionate about that are important that you can work on," he said.
"I think for anyone founding a company, the three questions you'd answer are what are some important questions that, number two, you can contribute on solving, and number three, that for some strange reason other people are not really focused on, and they have some psychological block where they haven't seen this as a problem that's important and solvable."
In other words, look for the problems that you're passionate about solving, but that other people think are either impossible to solve, or too small to bother with. That's where to start.
