What Are YOU Doing to Change the World? Seeking Audacious Payments Start-Ups

Over at TechCrunch, Sarah Lacy laments the that too few of the start-ups on stage at this week’s TechCrunch50 were chasing audacious, world-changing ideas:

I did interviews with most of the TechCrunch50 experts backstage and there was a common gripe about the companies launching there: Not enough passion, not enough swinging for the fences, not enough trying to change the world. There were too many people building safe businesses, too many companies just trying to make existing things slightly better, and too many people wanting to be the next Mint.com, not the next Google. Nothing against Mint, but Silicon Valley wasn’t built on $170 million exits.

What about payment start-ups? Who’s out there making a difference? Who’s aiming to be the next PayPal?
