[...] Kaleil had just quit his high paying job at the prestigious Wall Street firm of Goldman Sachs. But he and Tom felt "ordinary" because they hadn't yet become millionaires at the age of twenty-eight. They had an idea they thought was the key to fame and fortune: they would establish a Web site that made it easier to pay parking tickets, pay taxes, and buy licenses through their GovWorks Web site. They kept convincing themselves that they were right and speculated how wonderful it would be for people to use their Web site at three in the morning to buy a fishing license from home or attend a town meeting from a Web site while in their underwear.
this makes me wanna cry/laugh cus the fishing license part is almost identical to how toby described gov.uk/pay (ie, a public service that no one is profiting from)
best part: they end up raising 60m in VC (mostly FOMO i guess)
