Sure, families as a whole spend trillions a year, but you don't get any meaningful insight at such a high level of abstraction. Also, many of the ways that families spend money--like games (mobile games), toys (toygaroo), and entertainment (netflix) are already being served. I don't buy that families are a particularly under-served market in terms of start-up attention.
