The idea to start a startup

In particular, you don't need a brilliant idea to start a startup around. The way a startup makes money is to offer people better technology than they have now. But what people have now is often so bad that it doesn't take brilliance to do better.
...
Look at something people are trying to do, and figure out how to do it in a way that doesn't suck.
...
What matters is not ideas, but the people who have them. Good people can fix bad ideas, but good ideas can't save bad people.
