For a number of years I’ve wanted to start a business to transport kids to their activities. I know the concept of Uber for kids already exist in some places but it’s not near me.
I start thinking about how I could recruit some drivers, run some background checks and then start recruiting weary parents who are tired of driving. Then I think about the logistics of all of it and take a walk instead lol
I’m a chemical engineer, and my “Mission statement” is to Bring Technical Team Economies of Scale to Small Chemical Companies.
I’m envisioning a subscription style service to handle metrics and non-capital projects.
Currently consulting companies go in and give them a list of things to do, and no one follows through, but the companies aren’t able to afford a me (process optimization and safety), a reliability engineer, a controls engineer, etc. full time.
Their person on site is usually spread thin, and focused on basic operations.
Some order of magnitude estimating gives around 150Billion of non-capital optimization EBIDTA potential across the 15000 highly hazardous manufacturing sites.
The current companies go straight for capital projects.
Anyway…this has been rolling around in my head for years.
