We have reached a point in our industry where it is a race to the bottom for tech startups. Cloud computing, language frameworks, and other SAAS offerings have resulted in the vast majority of "startups" these days just being a group of people putting legos together, packaging it up, and raising money as "the next best 'x'" when a,b,c,d,e,f,g already exists.<p>It is no longer going to be feasible for a Stanford/Harvard college drop-out to be able to bolt together 15 different SAAS offerings into a package and tell investors THIS will change the world.
