Title: Are there any well funded tech startups &#x2F; companies tackling major societal problems?
Any of these fair game: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_global_issues" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_global_issues</a><p>----<p>I don&#x27;t see or hear of any and want to know if this is just my bias or if there really is a shortage of resources in tech being allocated to solving the worlds most important problems. I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;m not the only engineer that&#x27;s looking out for companies like this.<p>Ran into this previous Ask HN (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24168902" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24168902</a>) that asked a similar question. However, here I wanna focus on the better funded efforts (not side projects, philanthropy etc).<p>One example I&#x27;ve heard so far is Tesla. Any others?
