I know this is HN and everybody is building the next Facebook and has humongous numbers of users. But there is also local bands, volunteer ran music venues and such in a city of 200k tops. Which is apparently unworthy of HN. Noted.
- onion2k 11y agoI don't believe that's the case. Most startups, even YC startups, have no aspirations to be the next Facebook with it's billions of users. They just want to do as well as possible in their market. Every startup should aspire to serve it's customers as well as it possibly can - regardless of whether that's a couple of hundred thousand people or a couple of billion people. But that has to include the all the customers, not just 97% of them. Start with the low-hanging fruit of course, but never settle for "those customers are too much effort to bother with". That sort of negative sentiment is toxic.
