Any startups working on any projects in the Service Industry? (Events, Bar, Family-Style/Fast-Food Restaurants?) Anyone have any projects going on in the bar, events, family style or fast food industry? It just seems no one is innovating too much in this space. At least not outside of POS software, which I'm sure is very important, maybe I just don't understand why that's the main thing people work on. Feels like missed opportunities. Curious to learn about anything y'all are doing. 5 6 replies

Spending money for customer discovery and validation I am looking to create a solution for training mechanics. I do not own a car (since I also work on public transit).

Thoughts on a real-time data aggregator as an alternative to Crunchbase? Been piloting a real-time company data aggregator to solve a pain point I keep running into. When researching B2B organisations, I find myself constantly switching between Crunchbase, LinkedIn, search engines for recent news about founders, company websites, and registered organisation databases just to get a comprehensive view. Not looking to compete with Crunchbase's database approach, but wondering if a real-time aggregator that pulls all these sources together might be more valuable for actual research and decision making. Would love to hear thoughts from others who deal with company research... 1 1 replies
