I've given the same advice as PG in regards to massive, macroeconomic stats before during Startup Weekend events.

"The food industry is 10 trillion dollars, because everyone needs to eat! If we could carve out even .1% of the industry, that would be 10 billion dollars!"

Judges, investors, audience, whoever is listening to you pitch that will just roll their eyes.

Good call Zachary =)

To be fair, we had trouble finding stats on how much people spent specifically on driving long distance and threw the trillion miles in knowing it wasn't ideal. That's why there's a prototype day! =)

Great quote

31 is older entrepreneurs? :-)

I have 4 kids and a mortgage, which seem to signify "old" more than actual age. :)
