The idea

FamilyTree. Social tree + auth + giftme + matrimonial + commerce + genetic angles. Comp: Ancestry ($1.3B rev/$10B mooted exit), MyHeritage, FamilySearch (free), Geni (200M profiles), WikiTree (free volunteer). Reality: records/DNA owned by incumbents; free/social owned by FamilySearch+WikiTree; MyFamily.com (the social-tree play) already shuttered in 2014. Spec scope is unshippable solo. Wedge: thin — maybe diaspora-Indian matrimonial-meets-tree only.
