Is Now a Good Time for Young Internet Entrepreneurs?

Web 2.0 is anything but in the shadows these days. Everyday we are hearing more and more about Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace in traditional media. Sources like The Wall Street Journal and New York Times are keeping up with these colossal new companies that built themselves up in a matter of months and are now looking to be acquired for over a billion dollars.

There in lies the problem, however. Or rather it is the sweet spot. It depends on which side of the spectrum you are on. If you are YouTube or Facebook then the number of suitors have grown pretty slim in terms of potential acquirers simply because of the price tag. Viacom backed out of wanting to purchase Facebook because they thought it was too expensive. They did, however, say that they are looking for younger, less established businesses with huge potential. This is where today’s young entrepreneurs come in.

The fact that big Web 2.0 has exhausted many of their options because of their price tag means that there are a slew of companies out there looking for great ideas with great business plans that haven’t even begun to hit their potential yet. These acquirers know that Web 2.0 is real and that a dot-com business is possible. They’ve seen Google and they’ve seen MySpace. They also know that the biggest wave of new corporate giants is going to come from the Internet. That is why this is the time to really try and get noticed if you are in the Web 2.0 world. It’s true that there are a ridiculous number of Web 2.0 “businesses” out there. However, most of these do not possess a solid business plan. Some of them don’t even have a way of making money other than Google Adsense.

If you are confident that your service is helping make other people’s lives easier and is something that they would use on a daily basis like Google or MySpace, then you should have no reason not to make something big out of your company. With a strong business plan, a business model, the right execution, and some luck, you can make your Web 2.0 a true success in the eyes of the world.
