If you're in college and you can make something your friends use consistently (i.e. they'd be bummed if you shut it down), it's ipso facto a good startup idea. Barring, obviously, pathological cases like handing out free money.

Paul, we built a messaging app that works without Internet and our friends (plus 800,000 more people) use it during large events and natural disasters. Do you like the idea?

Oh, it's growing and growing. 96,000 people used it in one day in Hong Kong protests, 72,000 in Turkey and 80,000 in Mexico City after earthquakes. Completely organic and $0 spent on ads/marketing. Now we built an SDK to power other apps.

You think the messaging services can be used here in Southern Africa?
