New Business Idea Already Taken

For the past two years my friend and I had been throwing around business ideas, hoping that finally one would stick. About two weeks ago, we finally came up with an idea we thought had true potential. After a little research to find if our idea already existed, we began fully developing the idea. During this time, I happened to stumble across a new company, about 2 months old, that was doing the same thing. And, to top it all off, they just received $4 million in VC money for the idea...

This was a disappointing but also promising event. This has given me hope that I can think of an idea worth developing, and which VC's will find appealing, but it was also the first time I was truly excited to start working on something. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but I want to create something. I want to create something which will transform the world for the better. Sure, it would be nice to make some money along the way, but it really comes down to doing good for humanity. If I can do that, then I will be able to look back on my life when I'm old and smile.
