#4I'm deeply skeptical of anyone who wants to start a startup. I'm very respectful of people who have great ideas. One thing about startup first is that it ends up with a lot of duplication. Granted Google and Facebook were duplicates. And so it's fitting that they are in essence aggregators.
But I'm an engineer (and not a VC) and I have a natural inclination towards the Woz approach. The magic happens in the process of work. It doesn't happen in office hours at an incubator.
I think a more useful article would be Ideas For Founder Teams. But that's some hard thinking.

How about a dating app where people post daily pictures of themselves right after they've woken up. Upload one daily to keep using the app.
The idea is to have more authenticity from everyone... Just a thought.
