Well, by your definition then, "a shop that develops APIs" is the same as "a shop that writes code" is the same as "a shop that makes websites" is the same as "a shop that makes apps". Come on now! Clearly, it would be a shop that writes code. And at that, a shop that's specialized at being excellent at figuring out APIs for clients. I don't think this would be geared towards software houses, or companies with their own dev teams, I think this might be geared towards aspiring businesses who don't necessarily want to be a dominant player in the market, but would rather be more accessible to its users.

It strikes me that quite possibly one of the next channels that businesses might want to exploit are having their data available programmatically. Which is why I'm wondering whether that's one of the next market opportunities.
