Lists of Successful Companies to Get your Startup Juices Flowing
Inspire yourself through the success of others.
If you’re looking to found a tech startup but don’t have a clue what exactly it is you want to be doing, you might want to peruse these links for some inspiration. This is a “list of lists,” and would take a very long time to go through them all in one sitting. The general idea is to look at the companies, see what they do and how they make money, get the bios for the founders, etc.
Also, this is a running list, so if you know of any others let me know so that I can add them on. You can either leave your ideas in the comments section or you can email them to me directly at graduatedtaste at gmail dot com.
