Startups

Many (probably most) startups fail, but they are a fantastic engine of wealth creation which is why many (tech primarily) startups get VC funding.  If  you have a great new concept for a web company, if it starts to become popular, it can grow VERY QUICKLY, and with it the potential to reap huge rewards for the original founders as well as the initial investors.  So, if you have a good idea that you want to put out on the web, go for it!!
