- mgav 10y agoIt's fun for a dozen or two clicks, and who knows what might come out of it. Nice job.
- seqizz 10y agoI'm done after "We're Etsy for ex-girlfriends."
- sickmartian 10y agoYup, quite fun: "We're a rich text editor for poor people."
- davidjbain 10y ago"We're Groupon for viral infections." I'm all in on this.
- logicallee 10y agoThese are really, really good ideas. My first one was: "We're Tumblr for primary schools." I guarantee nobody is doing that, and I guarantee you can make a $10 million business sharing primary school drawings with parents via a safe, tumblr-like interface parents can view on. This is a good idea. my next one was: "We're special sun glasses for Australians." This is an instant win. It's a fanstaic idea. And with that kind of branding (Australian outback sunglasses) The whole world would buy one. I'm living in a temperate climate with 4 seasons - I'd wear them in the spring and summer for sure. Great idea. the next one made me lose interest "We're Groupon for WOW players." since neither groupon nor WOW is buzzy enough right now. I won't look at any more. They need to step up their game - it started off strong but then went legacy.
- kosma 10y ago> They need to step up their game - it started off strong but then went legacy. They didn't go anywhere... it's the world that moved forward. It just show how short-term and fad-like many startup ideas are, and how much timing plays an important role.
- jhonkola 10y ago"We're Facebook for middle age people.". Isn't that just Facebook? At least that is what all young ones say - that it is used by middle-aged people
- 49531 10y ago"We're Eventbrite for janitors." As a former janitor, the market for this is massive... :D
- dvh 10y agoWe're GitHub for large families We're Kickstarter for drug cartels
- fergie 10y agoRelevant insight from Ozzy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfL50eABG3A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfL50eABG3A
- veli_joza 10y ago"We're blacklist for priests." OK, let's not go there...
- johnlbevan2 10y ago"We're a first person shooter for ex-girlfriends." Erm...
- Mayzie 10y ago"We are a subscription service for stolen goods" Um....
- ss6754 10y ago"We're an subscription service for heavy drug users." :D
- OilDerek 10y agoPerfect. A little H, a little Molly, and a different designer drug every month -- plus a handwritten note!
- Keverw 10y ago"We're crowdsourcing for coffee shops." haha. Make a app where some stranger comes to wherever you are and makes you a cup of coffee.
- ptero 10y agoOr takes a sip from your own cup
- caleblloyd 10y agoThis is hilarious. As a side note, I have a personal goal I've started using - never describe an idea by comparing it to an existing company. I think it triggers too many assumptions. If the person listening to your idea draws a connection then that is fine, but the premise of the idea should be original enough that it is better described on its own. I have friends or co-workers describe ideas to me all of the time, and more often than not the description sounds like it came straight off this generator site.
- benologist 10y agoI started a new project in December and all of last year I was talking about this thing I wanted to build with some friends. One of them eventually showed me something astonishingly similar but targeting a completely different demographic, really valuable experience.
- hypercluster 10y agoOn that note: Is there a site that suggests apis to use or combines multiple ones for ideas?
- RobertoG 10y ago"We're Google analytics for drug cartels" mmm... not so bad idea. It seems more risky than others ventures but I bet it could be profitable from the beginning. I wonder about the MVP.
- n00b101 10y ago"We're Zendesk for ex-girlfriends" That's funny
- falloutx 10y ago"We're a Paypal for poets." Now thats something I can get behind.

- om3n 10y agoConveniently a while back I created an API for naming a startup based on a keyword. http://namrly.azurewebsites.net/api/Namrly/RelatedStartupName?baseWord=drug http://namrly.azurewebsites.net/api/Namrly/RelatedStartupNam...
- JetSpiegel 10y ago"We're Pinterest for Furries."
