Personal Notes On Ventures [Unofficial]

Think in both directions: how a problem can be solved by using technology / science and how a / a set of technology / a body of knowledge can be used in a new domain / to solve problems.

Innovation / Venture Areas:
  1. Education & Research Platform; helping people reach their potential; better platform for organizing and creating knowledge.
  2. Healthcare
  3. Artificial Intelligence
  4. Data Science, Mining
      1. Surveillance / spy cameras in stores used for understanding customers
      2. TV, Video Data - Apps
      3. Recommendation
  1. Applications of AI, ML, Robotics, Automation
      1. Intelligent personal assistant
      2. Robots, Automation
  1. Financial Technology
  2. Mobile Apps, Devices, Sensors
  3. Better brain, happiness, performance
  4. Computer Vision, Augmented reality, Virtual reality
  5. Wikinomics Platforms
      1. Open Collaboration (Github – Forking, pull back, commenting, 3D Printing designs, tabular data; documents, books, music, QA, Bookmarks, Encyclopedia, mind-mapping)
      2. Social Business, Entrepreneurship
  1. How do you take human – computer (networked) collaboration, intelligence to the next level?
