Cost of an Internet startup has plunged, so go on, get busy
“This is the best time to start an Internet company since the dot-com boom. Well, except it’s a lot more difficult now to get filthy rich on a moronic idea, which may take some of the wind out of your sails. But other than that, something truly remarkable is going on. The cost of starting a Web-based company is plummeting. Some in the industry estimate that it costs one-tenth or less to start an Internet company today than it did just five years ago.”
