If you can really do that, become a VC or full-time angel vs. starting some silly startup index SaaS platform.



Nah that path is too obvious, I'm making the new Dow Jone Industrial index. Way less plausible, way more fun.


You're drastically overestimating how many people care about startups (and will pay for a product related to them). This is a small market and VC as an asset class is shrinking (so it's getting smaller). VCs are terribly intuition driven and the good ones already do what you're thinking of and they'e good at it. And even if they bought, it's less than 50.

If you're trying to build one of those shoot for the moon startups (the kinds VCs like), this idea won't be it.

Not being a hater.


Don't care about exit size anymore, it's all about blowing shit up and changing the world. ;)
