I think every startup should look at the slide about the problems that Mint solves for its Total Addressable Market, even if it isn't the original Mint deck. The interesting thing about this presentation is it looks at the problems people managing their money have experienced, and the ways they solved the problems, and quantified the solution in numbers (the bottom-line for any business, not a free open source project, is to quantify the solution in dollars). So Mint saved users time (consistent UI) and matched the buyer to the seller of this data. Before you try to make a dime off any good idea, look at these slides and see if you can answer many of the same questions Mint did.
