If you have an idea, at least 5 different people have already had it. Blah blah blah all boils down to if you think you can make it, then will make it. With regards to market position and all that stuff, thats where strategic thinking come in. Its how Apple unseated RIM. Google slammed Yahoo, Altavista and all those others. And lets not forget YouTube. None of these companies were the first in their field, but they are at the pinnacle today. All that said, practically speaking, it would be an excellent idea to involve others - mentors, board members, financiers, and/or cofounders. Best course of action is to find a startup incubator nearby and get the feel for the people there.
