You can read on Wikipedia the meaning of symbiosis. Two organisms that live together with reciprocal compensation for their efforts. The symbiotic entrepreneur is one who discovers a key provision that a star product is missing and dedicates himself to be the first to achieve it and generate significant traffic with his solution. The objective? Sell his company to the aforementioned star product.
With the fall of some of the Internet value multiples, many small companies believe that their best option is to sell themselves to Google, Yahoo, ORACLE or AMAZON, to one of the greats of the TIC sector who, when buying technology, traffic or users, are ready to pay more than the market.
This is devastating logic because, while a finance buyer can only measure the results financially, a company from the sector can “know” beforehand what it is going to do with a small company that it buys and how much value it can give it. Having 100 million users is not the same as 300 million and, if you have the necessary critical mass, any new technology, in an offer from one of the greats you could be worth 10 times more than when sold to a financial investor.
2010 is going to be a year of consolidations and purchases among companies of the sector who want to ensure growth, reaching a critical mass or monetize clients.
