The only thing I can provide is that I once talked to a girl at a party who had been working at a startup for about half a year. When I asked what the startup was doing she could not tell me. She said that she didn't have the slightest clue, but as long as she kept the job she was playing along. That was in 2002. I Just checked and that company still exists, albeit as a branch of another company. They must have pivoted about 10 times in the past, and their current website is littered with bullshit marketing buzz ("Cognitive Enablement" being one of them). And sorry, I have no idea how this business model works.
