At the beginning of every year we look back at the startups we featured the previous year and we have high hopes for the coming year. Many of the startups we previously selected have done really well, including raising millions in funding or getting acquired by big companies such as Apple.
I'd be curious to hear apart from the obvious well-known startups, which startups the HN community expects to hear more from the coming year! (Mentioning your own startup is fine, but please disclose so :)
I'm working on a marketplace for services. I'm trying a couple different areas to see where I can get some traction. I'm also working on breaking this into pieces into different Apis. For instance building away to send tasks and notifications to a time tracking app on employees phones. As well as a service that returns a list of local companies that will offer a commission for an order.
marketing for new businesses. for example, bid2mow.com consumers post jobs and new business compete for the work. I do the billing and take a cut. I also am going to launch bid2flyer.com which is a little different angle business post flyer delivery jobs and workers post how much of the job they'll take. but a lot of the infrastructure is reusable. The tricky part is the supplier part. I'm having a hard time finding a process to get them on board, cheaply.
Marketing isn't a problem though, it's a solution. If you can figure out what exactly the problem is suppliers are having, then it's a matter of solving it. This should make it much easier for you to find an affordable process to get them onboard. Just my 2 cents!
