I am exploring building a startup and currently a member at South Park Commons. SPC fosters open-ended exploration, experimentation, and collaboration, providing an environment where members and founders can discover venture-scale startup opportunities and build conviction in their ideas. So far I explored the following ideas along with my insights at the conclusion of each opportunity:1. Text-to-Web App Generator: Non-industry-specific text-to-app generation is limited by tech maturity and often underperforms existing no-code platforms, except when tailored to specific industries, but it reduces TAM and scalability. Ran 2 pilots and spoke to 50+ engs, pds, pms to arrive at these insights.2. Agent for Engineer Screening: Discovered agentic workflows streamline junior engineer screenings but struggle with senior hires requiring qualitative assessments, limiting technology's effectiveness. Worked with 14+ eng leads.-Shifted focus from pure software to software x hardware, focusing on software-hardware misalignment and democratizing hardware development using my experience and learnings at Reality Labs.-3. SDK for IoT Connectivity: Concluded smaller IoT startups need comprehensive solutions, while larger companies rely on vendor engineers, reducing demand for a universal SDK. Worked with 10+ connectivity engineers.4. Programmable Robots: Determined that the hobbyist market's price sensitivity and limited scalability hinder the commercial viability of a general-purpose programmable robot. Spoke and iterated with 34+ roboticists5. Non-Touch Sleep-Tracking Robot: Evaluated non-invasive sleep-tracking technology, finding that privacy concerns may limit its market viability despite promising results and higher quality sleep data. Conducted patient population studies.6. Diffusion-Based and Physics-informed Robotics Simulation: Identified high product risk and premature market, making it unsuitable. Collaborated with Stanford PhDs also tackling similar issues.
