Two counter examples:
1. Mark Pincus was successful 3 out of 4 times he got funding.
2. Jim Clark is the only person in the world to create three billion dollar companies.
What I've read of them suggests that they were exploiting trends, not necessarily scratching itches.

- borism 17y agoexploiting trends is the second type. unfortunately none of Jim Clark's billion dollar companies are around today no matter how historically important they were.
