Paul Graham recently wrote an excellent article on the Future of Web Startups. Two points I want to highlight is the “Straight Pipe” where people will change the way we build businesses and companies and the execution of great ideas. I love the idea of an organization and community where entrepreneurs could gain the tools and resources they need to get up and running. Not that those communities aren’t already out there, you just have to sift through the information carefully. I will be curious to see where people like Paul Graham take this idea, considering he is already helping to head up Y Combinator. As for ideas, you can be sure many people get the same idea over and over. It’s just a matter of execution and usefulness. Does your product fill a need and does it fill that need well?
