Sramana Mitra: Since you’re talking about personal health as the current focus and we are in this immense public health crisis, what is your analysis? How do you process the current environment?

Mike Edelhart: At the highest level, we’re geeks. We’re data people, which means we can’t look back in history and know exactly what’s going to happen here. All we can do is look at what we can see.

Roundtable Recap: October 15 – Brainstorming Post Covid Startup Ideas

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Elizabeth Yin, General Partner at Hustle Fund, a pre-seed investment firm.

Relefant

As for our entrepreneur pitch, this week we had Marko Lauhiala from Helsinki, Finland, pitching Relefant.

In addition, we had a great brainstorming session around one of my ideas from 8 Startup Ideas for the Post-Covid World around travel:

Facilitating Travel Experiences

There are two major trends that the world will need to take in stride in the Covid era: air travel will become expensive and people will be working remotely. The startup idea addressing these trends as explained here would be a $5-$10 Billion market cap company, a Unicorn.
