Just because a business is using a proven model, doesn't mean it can't be a "hot new startup". Good for those businesses with sound fundamentals made accessible through new technology.

Yeah - aren't a good 20% of Silicon Valley startups just Unix commands reinvented (badly) as websites?

I'll by a beer for the first person to get to Unicorn status with an actual shell buitin (as opposed to all the SaaS companies that are just repackaged standard Linux/Unix distribution packages).

(Rushes off to register echo.io, pwd.io and logout.io...)

I'm off to found Ellis (ls), the company that displays current directory information, file creation information, and file ownership in an easy to use dashboard, but with websockets, Golang and React. Quick somebody give me a super new log structured merge tree db to use to store Ellis data.
