There are companies I review every day that I don’t write about. Reasons vary — it’s been done already and the product isn’t even as good as what’s been done, it’s a mostly or totally one-way application, or it isn’t consumer focused (or have implications for consumer focused applications). Even with this filtering, I get flame comments on some of the stuff I do choose to write about as ‘not worthy’. But there are a number of companies and/or products that I would like to write about but don’t exist. I’ve been keeping a list over the last few months and I am posting it now.”

“I’m happy for individuals who start working on something they love as a pet project, never intending it to make money, and end up selling it to one of the usual suspects for $30 million. That’s terrific. But if you’re deliberately planning to quit your day job and start a business from scratch, why go with a zero-revenue model that’s going to be sold for $50 million tops when you could pick a business model with the potential to generate some really, really serious cash? Once you’re bringing in $50m+ in revenue, then flip your company.”
