I would like to see the error bars on these graphs. There are a lot of low single-digit percent values there; I reckon that few of the fluctuations in these graphs would be statistically significant in any way.

Is there already a novelty startup company description generator?

I am curious if given the word tends as weights how many iterations it would take before it created a company description that actually exists.

Haven't found a description generator that uses popular terms yet, but there is this classic: http://tiffzhang.com/startup/ (a new one is generated on each refresh).

Thank you, didn't know about it, and it is really, really nice.

Big dips for solar, carbon, green don't seem to be mentioned.

I think we've always known that startups resemble one another and that they follow trends. This is not new. VCs also flock with each others' decisions and with markets.

Nothing really new here.
