Today's Startups Type (conclusion)


The 3 startup types we talked about in the just finished series, all signify one thing. the shift to cloud computing and that many large corporations and startups are betting on that.

We see many of the large corporations buy a stake in or aquire these startups. (Newscorp acquired Myspace and Microsoft has a stake in Facebook).

Theses Startups especially the ones in the recent post have been very successful and most Valued in the tens or hundreds of millions and a few like Youtube and Facebook valued into the Billions.

If you are interested in starting a startup or working on your own startup, you should take a serious look at these startup concepts, not the services but the model. They are all about user generated content, sharing, remote hosting (taking your desktop with you) and simplifying everything for the end user.

If your startup idea falls within these criteria, then with some hardwork you will surely realize your dream and you can also in the process create a market for your startup product or service even if the market doesn't already exist.

Now I want you to go back from the beginning of the "Today's Startups" series of articles and read them again till you grab the concept or the big picture behind all those startups combined. And you will surely figure something out for yourself.
Good luck! and don't hesitate to drop your comment.
