I know startups these days are tech focused, anyone interested in something more physical?

I am looking at an agricultural co-op based on Italian models, where farmers pool capital and own the entire value chain. Either small specialty dairy or meat farms where output is process in a co-op facility and then sold either DTC or wholesale. This means no middleman squeezing the farmers and much higher margins for them. can still have same corporate style benefits like insurance, PTO, etc..

Look at the Zespri model in New Zealand with kiwifruit. You want a government backed monopoly with exclusive export rights for their product. Growers dont compete but rather collaborate to find best practices and yields that become used industry wide. Zespri markets the fruit worldwide and through other partnerships creates new products (gold and red kiwi) to give exclusivity to their brand. Theres value right through the chain but its driven by the one company marketing that 'national' product to the world while essentially still being a co-op.

A farmer even if a good business man needs strong arms and do physical labour. How's this combinable with the start up work?

I am not sure I understand what you mean. Would physical labor negate this from being startup work?

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.
