Everyone is trying to get that new idea first they believe will change their way of living or someone else, although the reason someone starts this endeavor may be either purposeful or by accident. Sometimes this comes with a financial loss or gain down the road.

Your ability to innovate comes down to finance, passion, amount of risk and most importantly a useful idea. Your "idea" must incite change along with a passionate following but also must make enough money so that it is reproducible/efficient.
