A great source of startup ideas
I hate bureaucracy. I believe we all hate bureaucracy. I probably hate it even more than you, because I am an Information Systems Engineer.
I’ve been taught to look at systems and think of ways to improve them. And let me tell you, there is so much that can be improved in terms of bureaucracy.
Every time I’m at the bank, I think about the different ways that they could improve the customer experience.
Every time I’m at the AFIP (the Argentine IRS), I think about the many ways that they could simplify their processes to get more people to pay their taxes.
I believe that the best systems provide good experiences, which encourage and guide the people who use them.
If you are looking for your next startup idea, scratch your own itch. Think about all the bureaucratic processes that you have to go through every month.
How could you improve them? Could you build a productized service around a shitty government process? Sure!
What would it take for you to make my life a little easier? How could you save people time by doing the annoying tasks that we do every month?
I would be happy to pay up to $50 for every hour you help me save. I bet there are a lot of people in the same position.
You can count on bureaucracies moving slow (usually very very slow) on their process upgrades, which will only reduce the risk of your business failing.
Please build a startup that will reduce the burden of bureaucracy and bring it to Argentina (you will make a lot of money)
