Having read through many of the applications, I think that we could safely get down to 25 without risking throwing out any that deserve the win. There just weren't all that many applications that clearly described a remotely plausible business idea and that had founders who posted thoughtful responses. I would say that at least half of the applications seemed like a hobby or an idea that had been simmering in the back of someone's mind, with little to no thought given to how it could turn into a viable business.
