Nope. And I don't think most startups should try to change the world.
What they should do instead is try improving the workflows of certain niches, and then expand to grow.
I think "changing the world" is is not the right term. Most startups are merely copying the leading companies and have nothing to add to whatever industry they belong to. How can they change the world?? At their best, most startups can change the way we handle things.
I don't believe that every startup needs to change the world. Sometimes, helping a specific group of people solve their problems can be a more achievable goal. However, I do believe that the startup journey can profoundly transform the founder's personality. On a subjective level, isn't that what changing the world means?
Not every startup has the potential to change the world. Success and world-changing impact depend on various factors, including the idea, execution, market conditions, and more. It's essential that the startup's idea genuinely benefits people and addresses some of their problems. Moreover, for a startup to have a global impact, the idea should be relevant to people from different countries and cultures.
