Definitely niche, but not bad. It might be cool to have a system like that for connecting young, promising Chefs with more established ones. I don't know too much about cooking, but I bet it's hard for Chefs to convey their expertise and experience with a traditional resume.

#22Spotify, but for business Motivational audiobooks? Hmmm....
So I refreshed and got "Github for Cooking" which sounded funny at first, until I thought about it. Which then led into a 15 minute discussion with the wife expanding on the idea. Now I wanna build it.

#24All actually good startup ideas are bad ideas when they are started. Everybody thought twitter was retarded, and nobody had any idea social networking was even going to be a thing when facebook launched. If you only work on things that people agree seem like a good idea, you are probably the 5th team that is working on it, and you probably started about 3 years too late. This actually ends up giving many real success…
Hmmm. I've just created a website for an event happening next year, that around 16 million people in the UK will probably take part in. http://www.euroelection.co.uk/

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
He means that execution is more powerful in general. If you can sell snow to an Eskimo, imagine what you could do with a good idea.
Absolutely, you need both. I'm not sure how to quantify which one is more powerful or important, especially since "idea" can mean many things, from a very vague concept to a fully fleshed out and vetted business plan. I was just taking issue with the "ideas are worth nothing, execution is everything" mantra.
