- Shouldn't this be a private dataset?by orsenthil
- The problem with mental health monetization is: it doesn't pay to make people feel better.
The problem with most of capitalism, is the same. There's just more money to be made from people with problems than solving problems.
by cyanydeez - Post-mortem's are very useful, though often not welcome.
I appreciate the top-line summary and the approach looks promising, but I don't have time to sort through the data or details.
Both are likely common, so don't be disheartened by complaints :)
by w10-1 - Update: took the feedback here and reworked the report. Emojis fixed, filler text cut, dataset linked from inside the report. Same 542 companies, same numbers.

by trubetskov - Does this include the several stupid "thin wrapper on ChatGPT to 'help' people with depression/ADHD/etc." startups that I recall from about two seconds after ChatGPT came out?
Basically: "I want to be a founder, I have no expertise and a superficial understanding of the domain but I've got some tech, so here's a non-solution I'm selling as 'the best thing ever for you.'"
by palmotea - Starting at page 20, the report looks like someone let AI create a HTML page and then just converted it to PDF. There are misplaced "Calendar", "Money Bag" and "Globe" emojis floating above the title of each startup analysis.
I suspect that nobody, including the authors, ever read this 391 page report.
