I'm not seeing anything worth watching in this list. There's not much unique or different about any of these companies.

I'm sure some of them will do well, but personally I'm interested in companies at the least tackling the "frighteningly ambitious" ideas pg has written about, even if those alone seem far to insular.

Home automation, robotics, Medicine, 3D printing, renewable energy, etc, etc. That's what I want to "watch". I couldn't care less about the next t-shirt maker.

I don't know that they're not worth watching but I'd agree many of them aren't that unique. The list was made based loosely on the "hottest" startups outside SV according to MatterMark along with some editorial input.

I really like you're idea of making some lists of the top "frighteningly ambitious" ideas of pg you're referencing.

I think we might take you idea and run with it. Be on the look out for a new list of those in the next couple days. Thanks!

I'm with Nick. Those companies aren't trying to be frighteningly ambitious, but now I'm especially curious to discover the ones who are. Thanks for the comment!
