Adam Hardy would agree that societal problems are harder than they need to be. Adam is based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In every community, there are entities that serve the broader community K-12 schools, hospitals, after-school programs, universities, just to name a few. Each one of these entities has data on its members, students, patients, or customers. The problem is, the data between all of them is disparate and completely disconnected. Imagine tens or hundreds of pools of data around the community that, if joined together, can address the larger challenges of the community. -FutureState helps bring this disparate together and interpret what is working, and why it’s working, and identify causes of issues.Adam and his team developed a data aggregation software tool through partnership with United Way and Achieve Brown County. When these efforts received a strong response, he realized this may be an opportunity and founded Future State. His platform is now live with several customers. When COVID-19 hit, two software companies pulled Adam and Future State in to look to solve the needs for communities around the state of Wisconsin. Now, Adam is involved in high level conversations he never thought he’d have when this started. Adam’s story and the problem he solves for communities reveals an inportant insight about startups: The problem you are solving is often not the real problem that needs to be solved.Often times, there is the end problem, but there is also the ways and means problem(s).FutureState is solving a societal problem (end), but almost equally as important, it is also solving two other problems (ways and means): 1) A behavioral problem between actors in the ecosystem, and 2) A data ingestion problem.Ecosystem actors are used to having their data siloed. They are used to viewing and leveraging their own data. To institute the change that Adam is proposing, it changes the emotional equilibrium of the current market. How will entities respond when they have to share data? Will they feel threatened or insecure of what their community peers will see? Or will they embrace the change as moving towards the overall vision?With disparate data sets, one runs into the challenge of data cleansing, data integration, especially if there has not been integration previously.These two elements are vitally important to understand as problems because in many cases, overcoming obstacles such as these can be a source of competitive advantage in the market.

The Goat Cave - EP 048: Adam Hardy

My environmentalist friend Adam Hardy may have gotten everything he and his climate activist friends wanted. Oil at an all-time low, no noise pollution, no planes, no cars, and wildlife coming back in cities. Adam,  who doesn't fly, doesn't own a car, and lives in London with his family is trying to decide if COVID is good for his climate change cause. His website https://carbonwatchdog.org/ is growing and he thinks now is his chance to convert a few more people who weren't convinced about climate change before.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/forfriendsandfamily/support
