    One of the biggest things people don't understand about startups is how far they have spread beyond classic "tech."

        In fact a fruitful source of startup ideas is to look for a domain where there haven't been startups and ask how you could introduce them.

        startups can now disrupt any industry. And we don't even need new ideas. Just look at existing workflows that can be optimized

        Remember when Silicon Valley was about silicon? Apartments are pretty far removed from transistors. Both are pretty useful to people though!
