We welcome IDEAS that we can throw open to the floor to build on!

Please send us a Problem that you want solved!

Keep in mind:

The larger the problem (affects lots of folks) the better

Something that we CAN do vs. CAN’T do (Make better roads vs. reduce corrupt politicians) 

Something that’s a FRESH problem (no yaawn stuff like ‘reduce corruption’) 

A problem that TECH + great execution can solve vs. manual intervention (unlike this one below!)
