With the pandemic, it became apparent that a lot of our manufacturing was tied to a single or very few international sources.<p>With the interruption of that single source due to the virus, we suddenly found that lots of goods that would normally be in abundance were suddenly scarce or impossible to find.<p>Even when domestic shipping, factory, and similar employees were allowed to go back to work, we found that so much of our supply chain was inexorably tied to international sources that we still could not deliver many of the crucial supplies we needed.<p>It seems apparent that there is a _strong_ opportunity here for anyone who wants to help companies move their supply chain domestically, or even possibly automate it away from cheap labor abroad to machines. There's also plenty of opportunity for companies to diversify their supply chain, so that any one point of failure doesn't jeopardize the rest of the chain.<p>Who is currently trying to build solutions in this space?<p>Do you have a startup that you're working on here?
