B2B is great - my startup is B2B. I'm just saying I am seeing a lot of startups whose sole market is other startups. And they are not impressive. Wouldn't you say the hacker news crowd is a bit jaded? Review my startup is great, but not sure if the startup you built is a startup for startups is the right direction for most of these people unless they do something amazing. And so far I have not seen it.

The conventional wisdom is to start with a niche, do well, and expand. They may not be impressive to you yet, but certainly some of them have the ability to do more that what you can see initially.

And if they can't come to the HN crowd to have their ideas vetted, where would padseeker have them go instead?
