A consultancy I had floated around 7 years back survived all of 3 months. Given I had only been working for about 5 years, had minimal savings and no real network to start a B2B business - I got spooked perhaps too easily. But what really hit the proverbial nail was other tech startups (who were my target customers) refusing to pay even 1/10 of what an established firm (if they managed to find one for all of what I was offering) would have charged them. If the two customers I had cracked had, I would have probably stuck to it. Kiran -- Regards, Kiran
