They have less than 30 years and fortunes in your bank accounts. Your capital is based on your ideas. They were born in the digital era and they knew how the countless inducements and possibilities that it provided you the great network of networks to take advantage. Who the designers of the most successful projects in the web are 2.0

Not they needed economic big capitals, financial knowledge neither tradition of businesses. They only knew how to take advantage of the moment and to merge your capacity with the inducements that it offer the web 2.0.

They bind them two so plain features as surprising: all they have for future delivery less than 30 years and several thousands of millions in your bank accounts.
Not they give with the size neither the physique du multimillionaire network role, and many of them not even imagined, when they started your projects that your arks would be filled of money.

"The emprendimientos in Internet leaves more than a good idea, original or creative that of the capital buildup. Many of the companies TIC (not only those of Internet) are historically born in garages and, of course, for big projects in the web reaches with having a PC and connection to the network", you point out to infobaeprofesional.com Alejandro Prince, chairman of the investigation company and analysis of information technology markets and telecommunications, Prince & Cooke.

Your fortunes are calculated based on what are considered they are worth your "ideas", the offers to purchase that you/they receive and to the projection that the analysts prevén will have your original initiatives.

I change model
The statement that an idea is worth more than a thousand words are definitively materialized in the world of the web 2.0. In societies where the virtualidad is more and more powerful, the creativity acquires special value.

While before the fonts of wealth were only based on the tangible thing, today the intangibilidad has been able to transform into the star of the business community.

Ten years behind, the financial analysts looked with mistrust the development of the Internet, wondering if that novel invention would end up some day to be income-producing. Far from those concerns, the born ones in the digital era left the side elucubraciones and they began to scan and the possibilities that it granted you the new mean to explode.

Definitively, Internet transformed into an income-producing business, and those that knew how to take advantage of your kindnesses, today they enjoy the benefits of an industry that it move millions and whose projection for future delivery continues being more than optimist.

Between 1996 and 2000, the web was a machine of generating millionaires. You are calculated that during those four years, in Silicon Valley - the world meca of the network of networks - they saw the light 64 millionaires per day. The wealthy entirety of these new ones, they didn't overcome the 30 years.

"Internet is a phenomenon etario", Prince summarizes by way of preamble when responding why so many youths millionaire product of the web they exist.

"As entrepreneurs or I eat users the youths they have inducements, the digital natives live this as something quotidian, instead of rationalizing it as the old ones that we were born without PC and without Internet", you enlarge.

According to the expert, these new ones venturesome they are raised or "believe" in environments, as the main universities of the world, where they are in constant contact with the last technological discoveries and in environments that favor the venturesome impulse.

You are "a culture broth", Prince says.

However, you clarify that you only are not enough with the place, but rather the emergence of these millionaire youths also requires of certain conditions, "as those that are given in Sillicon Valley: universities, funds, innovative" spirit

One of the particularities of these creations is that in general they are carried out of at two, and in most of the cases the double one is conformed by a fanatic techie and puntilloso, and another with a commercial bigger vision that are in definitively who end being taken the honors.

The great jump of these emprendimientos is given when the big companies of the technological sector, as Microsoft or Google, decide to focus your looks on them.
