Time is more important than money.
If a company can't go from concept to launch in nine months, it's not going to make it. Bill Gross, CEO of Idealab, Pasadena, CA , who conceives and gives birth to new companies on the net like his wife gives birth to a human being, has formed eighteen companies in nine months. Idealab is just one of a growing number of companies that have aligned timely 'profit production' with today's high speed everything. Time is but one component of such success. The other is creativity.
