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
