This is a YouTube video titled "$7.2B in Research, Unlocked | Agentic" containing a discussion between two speakers about identifying a market opportunity related to cognitive human optimization. The conversation covers market research, underutilized technology, and government-funded research by the DoD aimed at accelerating learning speeds. The content is from February 26, 2025.
You found a space you're passionate about, but you didn't get biased by a solution. You stayed open, you talked to a bunch of people and that led you to the idea, the hair on fire problem of flow state.
So 50% was market research and 50% was can I find some cool tech, some cool IP that is being underutilized? And what was so amazing for Optios was what I discovered is, is that the US government, mainly through the DoD, has now spent $7.2 billion funding research around this idea of human optimization, particularly cognitively. You read these scientific articles, doubling of learning speeds, taking a sniper and accelerating their learning speeds like crazy shit. And it was just like sitting there, now I see a market need, now I see ip. I'm going to now bring those together and see if I can actually create a commercial application to build a bridge from the tech to the market need.
