The author should really have provided not only the groups and how many ideas (he thinks) land in that group, but also what are those ideas. Not only this would've make an entertaining read in 2026, but also give more ground for reasonable discussion now.
- danieltillett 11y agoI have the list so I will try to remember to comeback and do a postmortem in a few years time. The likelihood is that every single application on the list will fail to become a unicorn and very few will ever make a profit. This is just the way the numbers fall out on early stage startups. The reason I didn't actually list each of the companies in each category is that the purpose was not to critic individual applications, but to look at them as a whole and try to draw lessons from what I saw. There is a real disconnect between what people are proposing and the questions investors want answered. If you want someone's money you need to have good answers for these questions.
