There are lots of startups going after the incumbents in the business information space.Radius is the largest and best funded, and it's probably the most direct threat. It's raised $129M of funding[1] and has explicitly stated that it's going after D&B.[2] The company claims that to track 30 million companies in its database.[3] That's not quite the 240 million companies claimed by D&B,[4] but it's an impressive fraction of them, especially considering that the head and torso of the distribution are probably more important than the tail.InsideView has raised $76M of funding[5] and claims that over 20,000 customers rely on its 400 million company and contact records.[6]Owler has raised $19M of funding[7] and relies on a crowdsourced model to collect information about over 10 million companies.[8]Zoominfo, has raised only $7M of funding,[9] but its well-SEO'd public company profiles rank the site at 1,368 in the US, quite respectable for its category.[10]Regardless of which company poses the biggest threat to D&B and the other incumbents, it's clear that the proliferation of competitors is commodifying the space of business information. If the incumbents are to keep their place at the top of the heap, they'll have to work hard to innovate and differentiate their offerings.If they don't, they'll see their margins drop as the competition drives down prices. And eventually a younger company, perhaps Radius, will displace them.Footnotes[1] Radius | CrunchBase[2] With Backing From Palantir Co-Founder, Radius Goes After Small-Business Info Goliath D&B[3] Radius Wins 2015 ‘Brand of the Year’ Award from the Internet Marketing Association • Radius[4] About Dun & Bradstreet | D&B[5] InsideView | CrunchBase[6] Why InsideView FAQ - Accurate and Reliable B2B Contact Data - InsideView[7] Owler, Inc. | CrunchBase[8] Owler Database: Now Over 10 Million Company Profiles[9] ZoomInfo | CrunchBase[10] zoominfo.com Site Overview

Thanks for the A2ALet's look at what's the key ability of the founders of a successful startup before we get to answer this question:Deep understanding of the domain : An understanding which doesn't come from google, which doesn't come from someone else giving you an idea or which doesn't come from " oh...this us Uber of X or X of India". It comes from getting first hand experience of the problem. By talking to various stake holders, as to why the problem is the way it is. Why has no one solved it so far. These experiences and curiosity leads to some insight, which is 'your' insight. This 'insight' is the foundation of your startup.Expertise needed to solve the problem : For example, If the problem requires building a hardware device to solve the problem, you must know how to build it, or you must get a co-founder (not employee) who knows/understands how to build the hardware device. Same applies, to s/w, biotech, medicine or for that matter anything else. Just having an idea, and hiring people to build the solution rarely succeed. Ability to market & sell : Don't mistake of believing that if the product is good it'd sell for it self. NOTHING EVER SELLS FOR ITSELF! Every product needs either marketing, or sales or (most of the time) both. If you don't know how to peddle your product, you have a huge hurdle to cross. Again, hiring is not a solution.There are many more key success criterion for a startup, like market dynamics, team etc, but let's focus on the above with respect to this question. Now, let's answer the original question, is it crucial to work for other startups before starting on your own? Yes & No. If you have what it takes (all of the above) - you are good to go. However, if you are still toying with an idea, then it is best to work for someone else in the meanwhile.Do yourself a favour, do a self assessment and find out if check all the 3 items, then approach an experienced entrepreneur or any other mentor that you trust, let him grill you - you'd know if you are ready to start.All the best

“They’re actually going to wire $12M into our bank account,” I said to myself.We had just completed the “documents” phase of our initial funding. We had signed all the paperwork. And here were these people that we barely knew about to wire us $12M.I don’t know if that counts as a surprise, but it shows you the trust your investors are putting in you. Your investors know you may fail. And your investors know you may lose all their money.But your investors are willing to wire you millions of dollars. And then they expect you to figure the rest out for yourself.Is that crazy or what?Here are ten other crazy and surprising things that you’ll likely go through when you start your company.A. Every word you speak matters.Congratulations. I don’t know whether you realized it, but you are now an actor.Your stage is your office.Let me give you an example.I was in my office late one Friday afternoon. We had our company meeting lunchtime earlier in the day.Jeroen, our VP Engineering, walked into my office. He said, “One of my guys was worried because you frowned when you answered the question about revenue.”“I frowned?” I said. “I don’t remember frowning.”“Yes, he thought you frowned. And so he thought things were really bad.”I was laughing at this point.But this anecdote just shows you how everything you say, everything you do, every gesture you make, every email you send, all of it will be scrutinized over and over by your team.Your team will look for meaning where there is none. Your team will wonder why you left the office at 4:30 PM?That’s why you are now an actor. You are literally on stage every second. You don’t have the luxury of taking even a second off.B. No, the market doesn’t immediately notice you exist.I think one of the most jarring things for me was just how difficult it is to build a following and a brand for your business. And what makes it even more jarring, in my case, is…I knew going in was going to be hard. And I was still surprised at how hard it was.You’ll be ecstatic the first time you get 100 visitors to your website in one day.You’ll be ecstatic the first time you get a customer. You’ll truly understand why restaurant owners frame that first dollar bill they get.C. Getting to $1M/Year in revenue is really, really hard.I had built several businesses from $0 to greater than $100M before I started my company. So I had pretty high expectations that getting to $100M was the goal.Little did I know how unbelievably hard getting to just $1M/Year would be.You underestimate everything when you start a company. You underestimate how much money you need, and you’ll underestimate how difficult it is building a brand.So is it any wonder that you’ll be surprised at how difficult it is getting just $1M/year in revenue? It shouldn’t be, but it is. But…D. It’s hand-to-hand combat when you’re trying to win a big deal.Martin, one of our best engineers, said to me, “It’s hand-to-hand combat getting a big customer to buy your products.”Martin was right. It can be really difficult getting big customers to buy your products.Think about it: All your competitors want that business too! That’s why it usually is a better choice for startups to go after underserved markets that might be a little smaller.E. Hiring a great VP of Sales is unbelievably hard…And hiring a great VP of Sales is unbelievably important.We cycled through three VP of Sales in four years.The first VP of Sales was a cofounder who would have been great but he just didn’t have the energy and drive necessary to do the job.The second VP of Sales just wasn’t strong enough. He tried really hard, but family issues derailed him.The third VP of Sales came highly recommended, but he was the wrong guy.Why were we so inept when it came to finding a great VP of Sales?I have to step up and take the blame. I was the CEO who hired all three VPs of Sales.The reality is that a really great VP of Sales is not going to be interested in working at your startup until you get to some level of scale. The job isn’t meaty enough for a great VP of Sales, and it’s not worth the challenge.So you’re better off without a VP of Sales until you get to scale. That was a big surprise.F. Expect some sort of power play every time, every single time you are about to close your funding.One of the saddest things to me about my experience building our company was the drama around each fund raising event. And I don’t mean the external drama of dealing with investors because you expect there to be drama dealing with investors.I mean the unexpected internal drama of dealing with employees and cofounders leveraging the fundraising to attempt to get various things (usually more money or power).For example, two of my cofounders (one was a friend for over 20 years) demanded that I create an “Office of the President” with them or they would quit. All major decisions would be agreed to by the three of us.I refused, and they backed down.“I’ll quit if I don’t get what I want,” is the threat. Your answer always has to be no after listening to their grievance. Always.It will take all of your skill not to give in because losing a key employee before you close funding could cause you to lose your funding. It’s tough, I know, but you have to find a way through the abyss.G. Your investors likely will have surprisingly little sense of urgency over you closing your funding,You’ve just signed a term sheet. You’ve been raising money for close to a year and funds are really low.You want to get the money into your bank account as fast as possible before your new investor changes their mind. Plus your new investor is excited to get started putting their money to work.There are millions of dollars at stake, but your existing investors move like snails. You have closing documents that need their attention and they delay signing.A day goes by. And then another day goes by before they sign the documents.All the while you are sweating bullets to get your funding closed. That’s the sad reality that you are the only one with a sense of urgency to close your funding.That’s when (and why) you need to become a polite pest.You have to follow up on every detail with every investor to get the round closed. You’ve got to make the extra call to the lawyers. And you’ve got to send the extra email to nudge your investors along.H. You’re likely to learn what the zone of insolvency means.Have you ever heard of the zone of insolvency? Sounds kind of like the twilight zone, doesn’t it?The zone of insolvency is simply when your company has more liabilities than assets. In other words, you don’t have the ability to pay your bills.You are likely to enter the zone of insolvency as you come close to closing your funding. Your attorney will make a big deal about entering the zone of insolvency.Your investors will just shrug their shoulders. “So what, we’ve been there before. It’s nothing to worry about,” they’ll say.But you’ll worry because it’s an indication of how close to edge your company truly is. And the scary thing is it will not take much to tip it over to the point of no return.I. You’ll learn that 409A valuations are a joke especially early on.You probably never heard of a 409A valuation before you started your company. Essentially, you hire an external person to determine the value of your company.Your attorney will likely start pushing for a 409A valuation a couple years after you launch your company because the common wisdom is that you need a way of setting the strike price of stock options.Your initial option price is usually arbitrarily set at around $0.12 per share. Why? Because everyone else’s option price is around $0.12 per share.But as you get bigger, you can’t just go with an arbitrary number any more, can you? It makes sense until the valuation of your options suddenly jumps from $0.12 to $1.12.Oops.Now your new hires are pissed because the exercise price on their stock options is now a large number. You want to keep that number low, so your employees can make more money.So you nudge your independent expert to come up with a lower valuation of your company. “Ah, that’s better,” you say to yourself when you see the new price of $0.17 per share.J. You’ll find out your team is more resilient than you think.One of the more surprising things you’ll likely learn is how resilient your team really is. I did.The way you build up your team’s resilience is through transparency. Share with your team the bad stuff as well as the good stuff.You’ll likely be surprised at the positive response your team has to adversity.One word of caution before you lay your soul bare: Never show your fear or panic about what’s going on however bad it is.You want to appear to be in control (remember you are an actor) even if you’re scared to death.For more read: 7 Survival Tips For Startup CEOs - Brett J. Fox

This is the dark side of things you have to know. Starting a business for the first time is not for the weak-hearted. The fact of the matter is, lot of darkness is behind every startup story, people hate to share or talk about it. Here is a list of some must-know dark topics:Expect no one to support you and everyone to ridicule and demotivate you. If you get any support, be thankful for it. People are stuck in the job mentality.There is no prestige in it. Heck, even when your daily income is more than the whole cabinet of minister's salaries combined, they will still think of a minister as someone better than you. Heck, a low-level section manager has more prestige than you. Never get sucked into showing off your wealth for respect, it’s futile.Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Have a plan B as good as plan A.Never share your failures with anyone. There, I told you, the crowd is dying to hear it. Share only your success because it will also reflect on your future investor's opinion about you.You have a 50/50 chance of failure, no matter how good your plans are. So be prepared to fail, for success, no other preparation is required.Never take a debt it will slow you down, try again if you failed.Never ask friends and family for investment or loan. You will probably lose it, and they will distract you from doing your thing. Don't burn bridges.Try to do your first business in secret until you succeed. Because people don't trust a person who fails a lot. Neither the investors whom you may need in the future.Do something you enjoy because everyone is demotivating you and this is the only way to stay motivated.Be kind to your employees but don't try to be their friend, they will use you. Besides, when they screw up, you will need to fire them swiftly.Make time for your family, friends, social life and hobbies, otherwise you will exhaust yourself. Remember that you are the cornerstone of your business and it will fall when you do.Be really careful to your customers because bad reviews cannot be deleted from the internet.Everyone wants a piece of your new income, from your mom to your friends, even after they ridiculed you. Do not help anyone. Remember airplane’s emergency instructions, help yourself, then help others. Don’t help anyone on account of your business. Learn to say NO.Again everyone wants a piece of you, from your staff to your suppliers, to your customers, even the government. Protect yourself from disclaimers to contracts.Never cheat your way into anything, sooner or later it will bite you in the ass. Your enemies and competitors will use it against you. Be as ethical and legal as a proper person should be.You are the last to be paid. Once you've paid your employees, your taxes, and your suppliers, and you've reinvested in your business, only then do you take a paycheck (if there is any money left).

That’s the worst idea in fact. I share my experience and more or less it is same for everyone. At the end I also explain how to get your money back from them.On August 3rd , 2018 , I attended a presentation made by Country club representatives , named Dharshan , Muneer and RajaShekar at Café Coffee Day , JP Nagar , Bangalore. I came to know later that they operate by the fake names. So you should know that whoever you deal with and know in CC , those are not their actual names.They explained me different plans of Country Club / Country Vacations.On the condition of me paying the membership fee ( Rs. 1,39,054 ) on the spot, they offered me following membership benefits, none of which I received.1. Domestic and International stay for 6 nights, 7 days for a duration of 10 years for 8 people with 1 bhk accommodation.2. Rs. 7000 cashback to the credit card.3. One time all paid international vacation.Towards the membership, I paid Rs. 1,39,054 with my credit card by converting this amount into 12 EMIs with 14.55 % annual interest. While signing the agreement, and not finding the above above offers in agreement, they misguided me by telling it as a generic common agreement and told that I would receive different customized membership documents within 10 days after signing agreement.At the same time, I got a verification call to which the sales team told me it as a mere account activation call and I just need to agree to the questions asked in the call. They told me again that I would get separate membership documents in the welcome kit and deceptively convinced me to agree for the membership period as 5 years in the call.Later on finding online social media full of similar customer experiences and they being duped by the Country Club in a similar fashion, I referred to the point number 34 (cool off period) in the agreement. According to that, I can cancel the membership within 10 days from the signing of the agreement by sending an email to centralcustomecare@countryvacationsmail.com. The paid amount would be refunded after deducting Rs. 3800. Therefore, on August 6, 2018 I sent an email to cancel my membership with immediate effect and asked to refund my money. I received no response except an confirmation e-mail from Country Club about receiving my email. I sent many email reminders, but did not receive any response from Country Club about refunding the money. Please see the copy of the emails attached. I also talked about the same to the country club sales team, they promised to resolve either all my concerns or get my money refunded but nothing happened. To discuss my issues I also tried to call the phone number given in the agreement (040) 67484444, but there has never been any response on that either.I have also sent a legal notice to Country Club on 18th Sept 2018 and yet have not received any response. Now I know that they get such notices on daily basis and that does not mean anything to them. So, do not spend your money on sending the legal notice.This is their modus operandi and they have cheated 1000s of people like that.Now, what you should do to get your money back from them. Before that, One thing I want to share here about the people (CC victims like us). I have talked to 100s of people who got cheated by the CC. And I must say that I am very disappointed by the people. I must say that majority of the people who get cheated and come to get help in getting their money back are very selfish, they just care only about getting their money back and nothing else. They do not respect other person’s time at all and are completely thankless. They also do not want to take any effort on their own part , and behave as if it is someone else’s job to get their money back that they simply gave to CC. Once they get back their money , they do not bother even to talk about it , forget helping others. They are not even bothered to post their experiences on the social media spread awareness about that.Now, what you should do to get your money back from them.Very important , do not get disheartened and just leave your hard earned money with them. Do not repent. Accept that you are being very casual in giving away your money to anyone. Take it as a lesson and in future never spend your money in advance for any kind of plans. Never entertain any aggressive sales, marketing. Be careful , do not share your number to any mall , refuse to share your number when shopkeeper asks at the time of making bills etc. You should even scold the boy/girl if they ask to fill any lucky coupon in any mall.Immediately send an email to centralcustomecare@countryvacationsmail.com and centralcustomercare@countryclubmail.com to cancel your membership citing your personal reasons and get your refund. Also copy all your country club / country vacations representative contacts in the same email. Look into your country club / vacation agreement , search the internet and find out all the country club / vacation customer care emails and copy to those addresses too. Do that immediately.Immediately write an application on paper to cancel membership giving your personal reasons , attach all your documents and send it to their Hyderabad offices and local offices via registered speed post with acknowledgement. Do that , do not just sit back after emailing. It is important and you will understand better it later.If you have used your credit card , then immediately raise the credit card transaction dispute. Fill up the dispute form , attach all the documents above , also take the print outs of all the negative reviews and fraud done by them and send again via registered speed post with ACK. Also email the same to your bank emails etc. After sending the dispute form , talk to your bank manager. They will normally discourage you by saying they want cancellation mail from CC. Explain them all the frauds made by them and how many people got their credit card transaction reversed and explain what all you did in steps above. File a dispute asap. There is a time window in the bank before transferring your money to the company from bank. So leave all your other works and do the steps 1–4 asap. Most likely you will get your money reversed. Even if they reject your dispute , dont get disheartened and raise the dispute again. Collect more evidences and examples of people’s getting their money reversed.If you have 10 days cool off period in your agreement , then you do not need any reason as such to cancel your membership. You do not need to utilize any of their services also. Do not personally go and talk to them about you refund in their offices. They will simply refuse. They will ask you to first utilize their services first. Do not do that. Do not believe on their single words. Do not get trapped . Just follow what I am stating here. If you are in cool off period , then you need to wait for 120 days after sending your mails to them. Just sit back and keep sending reminders to them and to your back and do the step 7 below. Most likely you will get your money reversed in your credit card before 120 days. Even if you have paid using the debit card, they will pay you back by company cheque.Even if you do not have cool off period in your agreement , follow the step above, yo will get your money back. Do it as fast you can.If have passed 10 days time , then go to your local clubs or country club facilities . They are very shady and unusable. Go there , take the photographs and other evidences of the poor facilities there. Collect all the documents , make your case and do the steps 1–4.Prepare all the documents , find out the addresses of following in your state and once in a month send your letters and emails both to following.You can also contact Mass India NGO Karnataka president Mr. Gopal Koteyar ( 9741180793 / 9980025751) if you are in Karnataka and Mr. Shibu George ( 9869839988) for the rest of the parts in country. They are fighting with CC since long time. I and many other people got money back through Mr. Koteyar and Mr. Shibu has made around 400 people’s money refunded till now.a) DIG / police commissioner in your city and DIG / police commissioner Hyderabad.b) Registrar of companies and company law.c) Chief minister of Telangana and Your state.d) Prime Minister of India.e) Reserve Bank of India.f) Enforcement Director of Income Tax.Also keep sending the reminders to CC all offices and your bank by giving references to the above communications. Do not forget that. This process seems slow to you but it works and actions are taken. You will get most likely your money back faster.8. If you have cool off period in your agreement , then after 120 days , you can approach the consumer court. If you do not have cool off period in your agreement , then you can approach the consumer court even before , based on the response from the Country Club. If you have to go to the consumer court , do not take myadvo services , you will repent. In consumer court , you should yourself appear , do not take any lawyer , they will just rip you off. You can find and help of any reliable lawyer in your area in initial filing the case and later you yourself can carry on. I am not recommending but I consulted lawer Pooja Barik from HSR Bangalore and found her helpful. You can find anyone reliable or with little effort can file your own. That is a simple process.This is all pretty much you have to do. Keep faith, I am telling you that you will get your money back.At the last be a good citizen . Upvote and comment in this post and do not let this post take down by CC folks. Help others , connect people in your area to collaborate. Discuss your case here in comments so that other also get information and can help you or get help from your experience . Post your experience on social sites. This is the minimum we should do. Do not just think about yourself only , spread the word.

Triple down on what you are good at … and forget the rest.Focus on what you and your cofounders are already good at and try to get great at those skills. Hire more people that have similar strengths as the founders. Focus, focus, focus.Almost certainly, the success of the business hinges on being great at just a few things. If you are great at those things, you likely will win. If you are not, it will be very difficult to win. So do everything to be great at those few things.Likely the cofounders of the company are already really good at those core traits (otherwise you started the wrong business). So you want to build on the traits that your cofounders are very strong at. You should be very good at identifying people that are also good at these traits (because you are already good at them) … and you are likely going to be better at convincing them to work for you.Most founders try to do the opposite: they attempt to hire to fill in the gaps of the organization. That is really difficult.It is super hard to hire for the traits that you are bad at because it is not clear you’d be able to suss out people that are good at those traits. If you are not good at sales, why do you think you’d be able to identify someone that is? And if you can somehow ID a superstar, how are you going to convince her to work for you?One non-obvious benefits of hiring someone with similar traits as you: that person should be able to take more things off your plate so you can do fewer things yourself. So it is a real act of getting leverage for yourself.It is much more effective to focus on your strengths and make sure the organization is better and better.

Oh man, where to begin:If you’re building a service business, the majority of your clients will expect you to go above and beyond for them, while doing the absolute bare minimum for you.Nobody pays on time. And the first time you learn that lesson, it’s not going to feel great.Firing people is the worst part of the job, by far.Every single employee you hire is going to want things nobody prepared you to give them, like a career trajectory.Once you’ve built a six-figure business, you realize how unimpressive it actually is (and you start to cringe at solopreneurs who start running Facebook ads talking about selling courses on how to build a six-figure company).Once you’ve built a seven-figure business, you also realize how unimpressive that is as well. The really impressive companies are the ones 8 figures and above, and that’s humbling to learn first-hand.When people say “nothing beats the highs of entrepreneurship, and nothing is scarier than the lows,” they’re telling you the truth. Unfortunately, you won’t have any idea how to fathom what those feelings actually feel like until you’re A) wide awake at 1:00 a.m. because some massive opportunity just came together and you’re wired out of your mind, or B) you’re lowering yourself into a hot bath at 3:42 p.m. on a Friday in an attempt to relax and get yourself to stop feeling like the walls are caving in.Even when you become profitable, you’re still in “startup mode.” Nothing is guaranteed. Ever.The amount of time you will spend in front of your computer will make you crave time away from any and all screens as much as possible.For the first year, year and a half or so, expect to sleep less, eat worse, go to the gym less, and barely touch your hobbies. Whatever semblance of work-life balance you think you’re going to be able to maintain that first year and a half of building a startup, you’re wrong. That said, you should still fight and try vehemently to get back to a place of balance as quickly as possible, because these are unsustainable habits.You will start to understand why 99% of people have no interest in becoming entrepreneurs and would rather just work a job they enjoy.You will learn the stark difference between a $30,000 hire, a $60,000 hire, and a $90,000+ hire.You will have weird, really weird dreams about your business and some problem your subconscious is wrestling with.Your circle of friends will be entrepreneurs and founders themselves, since they’re the only people who truly know what it is you’re feeling and going through on a daily basis.People in your life, even people you truly care about and are close to you, will have very little patience for your “problems.” They’ll see the aspects of entrepreneurship everybody talks about: freedom, being your own boss, etc. What they won’t see, and simply can’t see, are all the other challenges that come with those select freedoms.A “growth over everything” mindset can be exceedingly destructive for startups. Yes, there is such a thing as growing too quickly.Cash is king, and the moment your monthly payroll exceeds 2 months of runway in your bank account, you’re toeing a dangerous line—and your strategy needs to be to stack cash as quickly and efficiently as possible.“If you can’t measure it, don’t do it.” My mentor Ron Gibori gave me that one years ago, and even though I had thought I’d understood its significance, this was a lesson I really only internalized very recently. I’ll say it again: “If you can’t measure it, don’t do it.”People don’t buy processes. They don’t buy ideas, or approaches, or plans. People buy results. That’s it.Do not underestimate the value of a manager. A manager can make or break your growing organization. A manager can mean the difference between you, the founder, working “in” the business or working “on” the business. Managers are how you scale, and how you pass off responsibility so that you can continue focusing on bigger and bigger items. Without managers, you will end up becoming an employee within your own company.Ideas are the easy part. It’s the execution of those ideas that separate decent companies from great ones.Competition is a good thing. If you have a competitor, or a handful of competitors, you can save yourself a lot of learning time by watching them closely—especially if they’ve been around a lot longer than you. Chances are, they probably learned their lessons the hard way, and there’s a reason why they do what they do, the way they do it. Use that to your advantage.As a company, it’s better to be magnificent at one thing than haphazard at 12 things.Raising money is overrated—and until you’re experienced enough as an entrepreneur, you honestly won’t even know what to do with it once you have it.When you’re neck-deep in the startup grind, you will completely lose all sense of time and space. No joke, there have been days where I’ve checked my calendar to see what year it was.I know I’m biased when I say this, but I wouldn’t be psignNowing it if I didn’t believe in it so wholeheartedly: building your personal brand as the founder is one of the single most effective things you can do for your entire company. My personal brand as a writer online is how I’ve opened every single major door on my entrepreneurship path thus far: getting to attend exclusive events, bringing on Silicon Valley advisors, speaking opportunities, client introductions and inbound leads, the list goes on and on. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, underestimate the power of putting yourself out there as the face of your company.All that said, starting a company is a lot like how I imagine it feels to start a family. And for all its ups and downs, it’s one of the most rewarding things you could possibly experience in life.

Taking the question at face value.. here are some of my ideas for a multi-billion dollar business potential in the next few years.. Some ideas may seem whacky or just plain stupid (due to my limited knowledge), but please feel free to add your comments.1. A money lending institution that charges lesser % interest than guideline base rate.  2. An app that would revoke an email after it is read by the recipient - removes traces of the mail being sent at all3. Mobile battery juice packs under $10 for emergency usage.. maybe you could make it last for just one or few phone calls, I don't know... just solve this problem! should be something really small that fits in your pocket4. Start your own internet that kicks ass.. charge everybody $1 one-time fee to join in5.  a mobile phone with in-built cigarette lighter ;-)6. Real time tracking of all commercial planes, trains, automobiles7. Real time monitoring of all micro organisms in the world 8. A cheap way to make you forget a book or a movie so you can read or watch again with the  same thrill of doing it for the first time9. Find a way to store and tap energy more efficiently10. A device that uses the pressure your shoe soles to convert it to electricity and store it in a battery.. so you can recharge your mobile device from your shoesinteresting to come up with such ideas.... will come back and add more later.
