 This helps facilitate access to ideas and resources.
 

Such ideas, resources and customer demand information can be focused over the 
internet into online venture organizations seeking to start up new businesses 
with little capital.  The additional feature that established coporations 
offer is the opportunity to fail without catastrophic consequences to 
lifestyle.  This reduces the risk associated with failure and permits 
experimentation within tolerable cost allocations.  In addition, trusted 
labor resources are available to groups within the protected corporate 
environment.  Labor resources external to the ambit of control of corporate 
management or a new venture may be reluctant to take the risks associated 
with an undercapitalized start-up, even if its ideas have commercial and 
technical merit.
