Y Combinator's Paul Graham recently begged?entrepreneurs?to consider "frightening ambitious startup ideas," like building a better search engine or replacing universities. "Any one of them could make you a billionaire," said Graham. "That might sound like an attractive prospect, and yet when I describe these ideas you may notice you find yourself shrinking away from them," he said. "Don't worry, it's not a sign of weakness.
