Really, what type of companies are those? I've always seen the comment of, "there are so many more ways of making money than X" without the actual proposition of said companies. Hell, even Sam Altman said it in the Stanford Start-up class, but didn't give any examples.

Small consultancy or web dev business. Your risk is the cost of a laptop and your time.

Right. If you bill one hour and don't have to issue a refund, you're in the green. Nearly impossible to mess up. Harder to mess up than being an Uber driver with lower capital requirements.
