Cool list! I hope yc will also fund creative consumer companies. Ways to have fun, enjoy life, build healthy habits, cherish memories, dream about the future, and deepen relationships with friends. This is 100% selfish - I want more fun and meaningful products to use.

Maybe it's more difficult to make a "request for startup" because it's more difficult to see what's "broken" in the consumer space?

I was going to say... All so serious and grownup and utilitarian. Whatever happened to 'the next big thing will start as a toy'?
