“An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.” An Irish author said this, but does an idea need to be dangerous to be called an idea? An Idea needs to be dangerous to bring money to a person. I don't think so. You can support the existing system and fill the gaps to generate money. Leave aside IPR, copywrite issues for time being but a market is eaten up by the big fishes once the market is created and hence idea loses its credibility to generate money even if it is dangerous.
You might think that my idea needs me but often times its not true and what you need is a team of best people around and visionaries to fill all the loop holes. A good team is as important to the success as a dangerous idea and I would say that there is nothing as a dangerous idea. We are talking in relative terms and whatever can generate more sustainable revenues is a better idea.
There is never an idea only which succeeds, there is always a well implemented idea which requires a team of Jewels to make it succeed and defend it. It is true that same idea implemented differently can beat the one before. Revolutionary ideas can do good to mankind but for money making Idea needs a back up.

I agree that to implement an idea one requires a team of Jewels. Finding these jewels and getting them to work on the idea is also a very important task.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great thing about doing a startup is to create a opportunity to have an impact on the world -- to give people a new way to communicate, a new way to share information, a new way to work together, or anything else you can think of that would make the world a better place. Think it should be easier for low-income people to borrow money? Start Prosper. Think television should be opened up to an infinite number of channels? Start Joost. Think that computers should be based on Unix and open standards and not proprietary technology? Start Sun.
True, a idea like that will do good to the customers but if you are not the best, somebody else will come and eat up the market.
