PAIN, RANKED. We just launched Painpoint Watch today. 10 real business problems every week, mined from Reddit, forums, and industry data. Not ideas. Problems people are already complaining about. 4 are live today. Here they are 👇

70M Americans have sleep disorders. Medical sleep clinics have 3-month waitlists. Oura and Whoop give you data. Nobody tells you what to do with it. THE OPPORTUNITY: Walk-in sleep optimization clinic. 90-min assessment: tracker data review, chronotype analysis, light therapy, breathwork, custom plan. $399 initial visit. $149/mo follow-up membership. 60 visits/mo + 200 members = $53K/mo. Startup: $80-150K. One MD on contract. Small clinic space. Light therapy equipment. Someone should build this.

@AidanSimardone Solar energy startups.

Just the beginning. Jet fuel has supplies have completely collapsed

@peruvian_bull What will remain is premium experiences in health and lifestyle. An underserved market worth billions. The ones who position themselves now are early

you have 3 years to escape the permanent underclass btw

10,000 people turn 65 every day on a minimum Mom breaks her hip Tuesday, hospital sends her home Thursday, she falls again Sunday because there are no grab bars. The aging-in-place guys all quote 6 weeks out. They want to remodel a whole bathroom. The actual job is: show up Friday with grab bars, a bed rail, and a ramp. Hospital discharge planners will send you customers for free because right now they have nowhere to send them. Someone should build this.

@AnthropicAI @grok Explain how an educational startup for training new technicians to work in data centers is a huge underserved business opportunity.

We're expanding our collaboration with Amazon to secure up to 5 gigawatts of compute for training and deploying Claude. Capacity begins coming online this quarter, with nearly 1 gigawatt expected by the end of 2026.

@Polymarket This will tricker down to Solar energy. Few understand this.

BREAKING: Amazon announces they will invest up to $25,000,000,000.00 in Anthropic.

@MarioNawfal Solar energy is the next moat for startup companies.

🚨🇷🇴BREAKING: A 10,000 kW transformer with 30 tons of oil reportedly exploded at a heating plant in Bucharest, Romania. Massive blast. Another day, another piece of critical infrastructure going up in flames somewhere in the world.

would yall keep tweeting with 0 likes?

@KobeissiLetter @grok Who is initiating the buybacks?

Massive buybacks are coming to the US market: Buyback authorizations across the Russell 3000 surged +36% YoY, to a record $428 billion so far in 2026. Authorizations are now +176% above the same period in 2020. At a historical execution rate of ~90%, US corporates are now on track to repurchase a record ~$1 trillion in shares this year. In 2 weeks, the corporate buyback window will reopen following the earnings blackout period. This will bring an additional wave of demand for stocks at a time when the market is already experiencing a historic run. US corporations are set to be major buyers in the equity market.

@NoLimitGains Solar energy is underrated. If this oil shock does happen more funding to solar energy startups will flow. Business owners get aligned or stay aside

🚨 IMPORTANT: THE OIL SHOCK HASN’T HIT YET The real damage might lands in May, June, and July. And by then, central banks won’t be able to do anything about it. Don’t believe me? Hear me out: The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since February 28, 2026. 20% of the world’s entire oil supply moves through that 21-mile passage every day. Al Jazeera confirmed this is the largest disruption in fuel supply history. Not in a decade, IN HISTORY. Over 600 vessels are still stuck in the Gulf including 154 laden tankers waiting to exit, per Lloyd’s List. A ceasefire was announced April 8. Oil dropped 9% on the headlines. Then reality set in. Only 45 ships have transited the strait since the ceasefire was declared as of April 14, per Al Jazeera. No formal transit windows. No security guarantees. Shipping companies are still pricing this as a war zone. The EIA confirmed on April 7 that prices will stay elevated for months even after the conflict fully ends. The numbers. Brent was at $70.27 a year ago. It hit $111.69 on April 2. That is a 58.9% surge in 12 months. National gasoline average hit $4.12 per gallon as of April 15, per EPRINC data. West Coast diesel hit $6.92 per gallon, up 55.1% since the end of February. US wholesale diesel and jet fuel benchmarks are up 67.3% and 70.3% respectively since the strait closed. The myth you need to stop believing. The US is a net crude oil importer. Full stop. In 2025, the US imported 7.9 million barrels per day of crude while exporting 10.7 million barrels per day of refined products. US refiners buy globally priced crude, refine it, and sell the products overseas. Globally priced crude just went up 59%. That cost lands at your pump. Why the worst hasn’t hit yet. Oil shocks transmit in layers. Wholesale first. Retail gas second. Then transportation, logistics, food prices, and finally core inflation. That full transmission takes 3 to 6 months. We are 7 weeks in. The CPI and PCE prints that actually reflect this shock have not been published yet. If it stays closed another month. The IMF’s severe scenario projects global growth collapsing to around 2%, global inflation hitting close to 6%, and a full global recession. Even the base case, published April 14, cut global growth to 3.1% and raised inflation to 4.4%, a 0.6 percentage point upward revision driven entirely by energy prices. The IEA released 400 million barrels of emergency reserves including 172 million from the US SPR. That bought time, but it did not fix the problem. The ceasefire is symbolic as long as 600 vessels are still sitting in the Gulf waiting for a green light that hasn’t come. Inflation is not done. The lag is real. And the data proving it hasn’t even printed yet. I’ve been doing this for a long time. The data analysis is my job so it doesn’t have to be yours. My next market move gets posted to The Assembly first. We’re closed right now. Reopening May 18 in about a month. Join the waitlist at the bottom of the website: intheassembly.com

Peptide buyers can’t verify what they’re injecting. 43% of vendors fail third-party purity tests. Multiple shutdowns in the past year. OPPORTUNITY: Independent verification + trust layer for a $300M+ market. Whoever solves trusted verification early on will grab a huge market

@KobeissiLetter The next billion dollar business idea lies within this tweet.

It's official: The world is now experiencing its biggest energy crisis in history, with 600 MILLION barrels of lost oil supply. US gas prices are up +47% since December and inflation is nearing 4% in a similar path to the 1970s. What happens next? Let us explain. (a thread)
