<i>...even as we speak, web entrepreneurs are teaming up with doctors to build better hospitals, with scientists to build better drugs, with lawyers to build better firms, with manufacturers to build better factories, with teachers to build better schools.</i><p>I'd love to help/partner with e.g. a mechanical engineer who wants to build Factory2.0.
Great post. Any startup working with the head on the web and arms in the real world will be part of an entirely new batch of startup, much more focused on profitability rather than traffic. This is good.<p>I'm just a bit perplexed on one point though: if you're a founder of an 'hybrid startup' you're supposed to have deep knowledge of the (physical) industry domain you'll be working on and some kind of expertise of web dynamics. I think very few entrepreneurs can be very good at both.
Interesting article. A couple of examples that I think have phenom ideas came to mind while reading it.
TaskRabbit & Uber Cab both straddle the online/offline experience and seem like they will do pretty well.
