Its my first day of vacation so my mind has floated from place to place without staying on any one of them for too long. In that vain, my post is going to be a good idea for a startup and a startup that sounds just awful presented in wandering mind, bullet point mode.
- The good idea (and it’s free to the first entrepreneur who takes it) is for a facebook-based cookbook sharing application. Is there anything more historically social then swapping recipes? There is an app (My Cookbook), but it’s rated with only 2.5 stars. How has someone not made an investment in this and hit it out of the park?
- The bad idea is ChickRX, a webMD competitor specifically targeted at women in their 20s. I’m in my 20s and know many girls in their mid 20s and most of them are rarely sick and even rarer spend time searching online about their illnesses. The company was apparently started by two Harvard MBAs and has ALREADY raised $400,000. This just sounds like well connected people with a bad idea to me (take that for what it’s worth though, it’s based on a perusal of the Tech Crunch article alone).
