Ideas we Like
With Shotput 2010 right around the corner we wanted to add a quick blog post. We frequently get requests asking if there are any ideas or types of startups we'd like to see. Of course, we're focused on capital-light web service companies and are looking for the best teams and ideas. With that said, there are a few areas that are of particular interest to us, everything else being equal.
Some ideas and areas we like:
- Online marketing
- Social media
- Lead generation
- Large scale data analysis
- Voice apps
- Marketing/Performance analytics
- Cloud management / services / tools
- Location based apps
- Vertical-specific productivity/mgmt apps
