Ask HN: This whole "change the world" mantra. What recent startups qualify?
Certainly twitter and facebook, and there are others like Khan Academy, but what are some other startups that qualify--or at least have the capacity to qualify--as world changers?
- bdickason 15y agoI'm hopeful for Bank Simple, Square, and others trying to fix up the way we pay each other and take payments. Having operated a small business (salon) for the past two years, merchant accounts, payments, etc are all a total black box and you have no options/control.
- sandroyong 15y agoVery far and few in between. So, my question is "why"?
- ig1 15y agoMendeley I think definitely qualifies. Lanyrd has the potential.
- joshontheweb 15y agomassivehealth.com is supposed to disrupt the health industry.
