Correctly identifying if the customers are going to pay their bills or run after two months without paying, leaving a bill of ~1000 (consider that the State justice system doesn't work and the customers are individuals).
Do you report them to any credit agencies?

#72Otherwise also fundraising (as someone else said).
Though for both of these, if the business is cash-strapped, the results would have to be pretty much assured.

#74Better EDA tools. Oh my god, i would pay so much for that...
I'm interested in this field. What are the current pain points with EDA tools? And are we talking device level, process level, circuit level or all levels?
There's a landmine of bugs in even the best EDA software. I'd just like for the software to run nicely once, like TensorFlow... sigh.
If you're thinking getting into this field, I might suggest a modular software architecture where the non-proprietary parts are open source and everything NDA-sensitive is kept closed source (pretty much anything the foundry touches/provides).

#77Tableau. We pay far more than $10k/year even after the pricing model change.
Think about running your own Superset instance. Could be the solution and IMO it's much better than Tableau.

I'm guessing you weren't pushing for Salesforce, but out of interest, did your company evaluate any other CRM platforms? If so, do you know why they chose Salesforce?
You would incur the same type of thing in Dynamics. It's a hit or miss trying to figure out if a feature is even possible and how to implement on your own. There really isn't an open-source collection like you would hope. Subscription or dev. consultant?

#80Acquisition of high-quality clients for my software agency is a problem for which solution I'd be willing to pay 100k/year.
