We certainly don't hear much about efforts or successes in anyone's effort to "disrupt" the toilet paper industry, yet it's something most people use daily. It's not sexy, but we all care a lot when it sucks.
- madeofpalk 9y agoBut people are 'disrupting' the more 'boring' industries - all the mattress/pillow startups, Thinx period panties, etc.
- ghaff 9y agoHow much disruption has really happened in most of those cases though? And I'm not sure people on here are a reliable sample. Mind you some of these (e.g. Warby Parker) have had a lot of success. It's just not clear to what degree they've really disrupted the mainstream of their industries.
- realworldview 9y agoI plan on disrupting the garage-based startup business, from my garage.
- JBlue42 9y agoLike so? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gG56SCs5-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gG56SCs5-E
- realworldview 9y agoExactly like that, and especially with plenty Ramen.
- nothrabannosir 9y agoI'll be honest with you: almost every single "SV success story" I can think of is boring. Advertisement, book shops, groceries, taxis, food delivery, none of this is particularly glamorous. I don't know where people get this apocryphal wave of "nobody ever talks about boring things". Space X is pretty much the only non-boring "hip" company I can think of!
- ninly 9y agoEven if the Boring Company is hip, I guess no one can get away with saying they're not boring.
