Q3: How is #IaaS changing the game for born-on-the-web startups?
Michael Fork
See my previous answer - companies like WhatsApp and Instagram are able to build billion dollar companies with extremely small staffs and minimal investment. Anyone with an idea and a credit card has access to infrastructure to deliver globally.

21st century Startups are born and run on #IaaS. Don't understand the queston. ;-)

IaaS isn’t really “changing” the game for born-on-the-web startups … It *created* the game for born-on-the-web startups. Entrepreneurs can start with a small pay-as-you-go cloud footprint and grow as customer demand increases.

It's changing everything. Instagram, WhatsApp: they don't own servers, don't have IT. They don't have DBAs. Focus on product.

Mike Miller
I shall define 'born on the web' as post-ec2
Holger Mueller
I'd say #IaaS has changed the game - as in general more elastic computing resources.

born-on-the-cloud may be more appropriate term
Brian Fanzo
Born on the web startups have the advantage of Enterprises without legacy equipment or assets... #IAAS is configured via a credit card!
