Like I said, if you have something remarkable, or even unremarkable, go try it out. Noone is stopping you. The internet and other forces did indeed make many aspects of starting a business very cheap and easy.

However, don't expect the internet or technology to be a magic pill that will make all your problems disappear. You still need to know stuff, learn stuff and understand stuff and provide value (as seen by customers, not what you think is valuable)!!

Furthermore, don't block off potential opportunities within existing companies by thinking "no external entity could possibly be good for me. I have to start one from scratch on my own".
