Startup Ideas Generator

This is hilarious. As a side note, I have a personal goal I&#x27;ve started using - never describe an idea by comparing it to an existing company. I think it triggers too many assumptions. If the person listening to your idea draws a connection then that is fine, but the premise of the idea should be original enough that it is better described on its own.<p>I have friends or co-workers describe ideas to me all of the time, and more often than not the description sounds like it came straight off this generator site.

These are really, really good ideas. My first one was:<p>&quot;We&#x27;re Tumblr for primary schools.&quot;<p>I guarantee nobody is doing that, and I guarantee you can make a $10 million business sharing primary school drawings with parents via a safe, tumblr-like interface parents can view on. This is a good idea.<p>my next one was:<p>&quot;We&#x27;re special sun glasses for Australians.&quot;<p>This is an instant win. It&#x27;s a fanstaic idea. And with that kind of branding (Australian outback sunglasses) The whole world would buy one. I&#x27;m living in a temperate climate with 4 seasons - I&#x27;d wear them in the spring and summer for sure. Great idea.<p>the next one made me lose interest<p>&quot;We&#x27;re Groupon for WOW players.&quot;<p>since neither groupon nor WOW is buzzy enough right now. I won&#x27;t look at any more.<p>They need to step up their game - it started off strong but then went legacy.

&quot;We&#x27;re Facebook for middle age people.&quot;. Isn&#x27;t that just Facebook? At least that is what all young ones say - that it is used by middle-aged people

&quot;We&#x27;re Google analytics for drug cartels&quot;<p>mmm... not so bad idea. It seems more risky than others ventures but I bet it could be profitable from the beginning. I wonder about the MVP.

On that note: Is there a site that suggests apis to use or combines multiple ones for ideas?

It&#x27;s fun for a dozen or two clicks, and who knows what might come out of it. Nice job.
