Hello,

I used to be a developer/designer at a web hosting company. Now I have my own startup:

any comment?

Starting up a web biz isn't as easy as i thought. Right, developing a web tool is getting much easier nowadays. There are all kinds of opensource tools and platforms to jump start with. But developing marketable solutions is another story. I gotta learn to stand out from those free alternatives, and to identify and bridge the gaps between the market & the problems.

So to grow a sustainable business I need to develop both the software and the business at the same time, which are like two very different worlds to me.

(when I told my friend about this, he said Bill Gates was smart enough to do both sides... what you think?)
