Other Startup Ideas We'd Like to Get Funding for | Other Startup Ideas We'd Like to Get Funding for |

We came across this posting over at YCombinator, and lo and behold, this is almost everything we want to do, and our social networking platform can be easily adapted for these uses. The newspaper and news media platform idea especially works for us. We don't like to sit on these ideas, though, because we really want people to work on them. So we're trying something new: we're going to list some of the ideas we've been waiting to see, but only describe them in general terms. It may be that recipes for ideas are the most useful form anyway, because imaginative people will take them in directions we didn't anticipate.
Please don't feel that if you want to apply to Y Combinator, you have to work on one of these types of ideas. If we've learned nothing else from doing YC, it's how little we know. Many of the best startups we've funded, like Loopt, proposed things we'd never considered. |
