An unusual pattern that Peter Thiel uses to find truly disruptive startups is this: look for startups that can't be articulated in the right words. "I think in some ways the really good companies often couldn't even be articulated...we didn't quite have the right words.

For example, Thiel said most people called Google just another search engine, when in fact, it was the "first machine-powered" search engine.
