Inspired by #30 on YC's "Ideas We'd Like to Fund": What service(s) do startup founders wish existed and were done in a startupy fashion? Equivalently, what needs do most startups have in common that could be abstracted and simplified by single startup?
Administrative help. Necessary HR functions, an affordable group health plan. Legal advice/framework. Recruiting. Doing it right is a huge hassle (I've been there) and it takes away from getting the product out the door. A couple of things that I've seen friends get bitten by are lack of a formal agreement between partners and lack of formal work-for-hire agreement for contractors.
