>> Nope. Exactly the opposite is true. >> What killed the disruptive innovators on the net was a lack of paying customers. You saying it doesn't make it so. Our little Internet store set up in 1996 was there solely to try to find paying customers. I can guarantee you the ultra successful ones, like Amazon, were there for the same reason. They CREATED those customers out of nothingness. Today, I buy stuff from Amazon on a daily basis. Bezos and Google and the others created the Internet by making it into a place worth being. >> there are a hundred better-mousetrap companies that failed They failed because in some essential way they were not better. There was no other reason the failure. Management was lousy. The product was lousy. Marketing was lousy. THE MOST LIKELY REASON is they lacked investment capital. That's right. Most business failures are because they are under capitalized. NOT ENOUGH INVESTMENT. Really, I don't know what you're background is but it appears not to have any meaningful business experience or education. Pretty much like CJs and Tejek's, I'd say.
