| Between HNers there are many creative persons, guys who come up with a billion different ideas every week. Definitely i'm this kind of person and even if not every idea is good, every idea deserves at least some research.
Since i got tired of googling general descriptions of the disruptive startup idea which just occurred to my mind i coded together this small but for me very useful tool which does this job for you.
You just briefly describe your idea and it gives you as a result the startups which correspond (or are most similar) to your very idea. It's made of google custom search api plus some processing in order to weigh the results.
You can find it at http://gtardini.com/wwwhoelse , don't mind the design which really sucks. I find it quite useful, hope it will be the same for you. Feedback is appreciated! |

Lovely idea, but ...
Color me suspicious, but this could simply be a way of harvesting potential ideas for exploitation by the site owner.
How can you convince people otherwise?
(I'm in a nasty mood today - I've been dealing with threat-mode analyses ...)
