I see your goals difficult to accomplish. If a business problem can be solved with an application that will be an easy one.

In general key business problems are really difficult to solve in the context of a particular problem. For example, I can't find employees in a specific niche because there are not enough in the market. How can I solve it? I can train people but that training would take a long time and I can't afford that risk.

I see where you're coming from. Maybe you are not typical of business as a whole since you are (I assume) a tech person and thus very capable of solving your own problems (if they can be solved with tech at all) :)

Ah ok! so, you are looking to things that can be automatized with a web service oriented to companies or people without IT expertise.

I'm kind of trying to teach the reader to become patio11 (and focusing on the initial stages of that).

So, yes :)

I'm still curious about tech companies run by HNers though. I mean there are plenty of SaaSes targeting those too (Github for instance).
