Determining Good Startup Ideas

Good startup ideas are often contrary and counterintuitive, non-obvious, and different from what big companies are already doing. Startup ideas that appear obviously good are usually already being pursued by established companies. To find a good startup idea, it must be important, matter to people, and go against conventional wisdom. Most ideas that look like bad ideas are actually bad ideas, so deep domain knowledge is essential to understand why a seemingly bad idea can be a good idea.
