Bulletin seems great! I work in Soho and am always surprised to see empty shops. I do wonder if it's successful, if it will face the same criticism as Airbnb - it prices out long term tenants in favor of more lucrative short term ones.

I really enjoyed this selection. All are valid problems and I can see how they can be successful. Maybe not billion dollar companies.

i think each of these has billion dollar potential. they address massive markets that are proven money makers.

YC - Love the blog post intro format. If you offered a daily email with new YC company descriptions I would subscribe (just subscribed to weekly). I've invested in over 100 startups--this is more than curiosity.

Hey, I just looked at your twitter profile. How does one invest $500 in a startup?

Note: weirdly high number of coffee and alcohol brands.

I have done some $1,000 deals at angel.co

fundersclub.com used to allow some $1,000 deals (and I did a few), but now the minimum seems to be more like $3,000.

Really liking Bulletin - with the number of 'pop-up' shops here in Sydney, I'm sure a trend that is world-wide, they're solving a supply and demand side issue.

The commodification of land is antisocial and bad for other economic agents. Euthanasia of the rentier class is good policy all, including the rentier class.
