Chris Dixon @cdixon

Good ideas that look like badbideas 

like google, airbnb, ebay

Crowded, non monetizable, 

= Left-over business

You only can do it, if you know a secret.

Working 1000 hours on a thing and find the secret.

Know tools better than anyone else, Like: dropbox, 

Know the problems better than anyone else: Kickstarter (worked on it 10 years)

Draw from your unique life experience: Sideadvisor, pinterest

Characteristics:

Powerfull people dismiss them as toys:

-Telephone, skype, 

They unbundle functions done by others:

-Newspapers by twitter, craigslist,..

-Universities by Udacity

Did it originate as ahobby?

-github

Is it creepy in a way?

-Airbnb, flickr, ebay, facebook

How I got this secret: trial and error
