On Replacing Spreadsheets

I have spent the better part of the last decade building software designed to replace traditional spreadsheets (Excel, GSheets). The business case is clear: a significant amount of work currently occurs in spreadsheets due to the lack of better solutions. If you’re looking for a startup idea, plenty of fertile ground exists here. Talk to potential customers in various industries, ask them about the business problems they primarily solve with spreadsheets, and identify the pain points they experience with this approach.
