      A startup that helps people make money will make money itself. Both Viaweb and Y Combinator did this. And so do Airbnb and Stripe. It's not the only recipe for a startup, but it's a good one.

      Can you think of anything you could build that other people could use to make money? If so, you may have a startup idea.

      One of the best ways to help people make money is to unlock something valuable they already have. Airbnb and Y Combinator and Lambda School are all of this type.

      A really big startup I've been waiting for for over a decade is the one that gives moms at home with kids a way to make money. There is massive untapped talent there, if someone can figure out how to unlock it.

          Etsy would be an obvious candidate :-)

          emm, does @cuemath qualify? How about @automattic ? I realize that I am equating remote work to moms at home, but isnt any startup in the gig space qualify?
