There are an awful lot of small software companies which didn't need much more than "capable of writing software" and "at least as much sales skill as a clerk at Nordstrom's" to get started. Many of them don't sound like particularly "good ideas."

"What do these companies *do*, Patrick?" Mostly, verticalized workflow web-and-or-mobile applications. Workflow: there's a business process which is managed now by humans. Your job: make them more efficient. Verticalized: Your customers are very similar to each other.

That's not the traditional definition of "vertical" but it's operationally the important thing for small software companies; customers being similar makes your product challenges more tractable, helps bootstrap marketing and sales by reducing it to "Find everyone like X", etc.
