Analysis is a hot field, so although most startups don't need a full-fledged Business Analyst your knowledge should enable you to spot an opportunity in this sector and to use your knowledge to create something to make analysis for companies easier - or for other analysts. If you are such a fine one and your fellow analysts are not, what can you do, to make them better at their job?

You still need a programmer if you want to create some software, but still you'd have quite a place in a startup as the entrepreneur developing the idea and the business.

This is something I'm currently looking into. I have actually spotted a market for something that will make a small aspect of analysis easier. In discussions with analysts at other big companies I notice that they also struggle with the same issues.

There is a lot of competition in the area, but the products are all from bulky enterprise applications that are not quite suitable to the task.

Your comment has made me think that I should flesh this idea out a bit more and hire a decent programmer in the early days to lay some decent foundations to this idea.
