Re: “Are there any posts that describe what the companies do in layman’s terms for someone who does not work in software.”
Not that I’ve seen…
Saul’s monthly summaries (posted right before the end of each month) usually say quite a bit about each company. I’d recommend taking a look at the most recent one.:

Many articles published in each company has details about their business. For example this one on Twillio:

This board has a lot of collected knowledge on many stocks but it’s not set up to give new viewers profiles of each individual company. For that I’d recommend plugging individual tickers into yahoo, looking over profiles and perhaps follow links to associated websites
