How is that a startup? I dunno, maybe there's a small part of that big problem that you can start tackling. Maybe it has to do with some facet of the economy you're improving/making more efficient, maybe it has to do with influencing policy. That's for you to figure out.
Find a big, big problem, and then look for a manageable chunk that your team can execute an idea on. You're in this for the long haul, right?
