"Whereas an incubator like Y Combinator looks for applicants who already have a strong startup idea in mind, YouWeb prefers those who don’t. “I’m not looking for the next Facebook, Microsoft or Google,” he says.

YouWeb then works with young, unproven entrepreneurs to target markets that are “interesting” and create the idea and the company."
