Readwriteweb.com started a series that fits the economic hard times called Gritty Entrepreneurs. These are companies that make money the old fasioned way, no not the 90s way of burning through VC cash, but as John Housman once said “They Earn It”. You remember those ideas where VC cash might not be necessary if you had a business model. Contrast the Gritty Entrepreneurs with the profiles on fuckedstarup.com who are failing or cutting their workforce.

Anytime is a good time to start a startup really. It is only up to your ideas and how you run the business. Cash is king no matter what and a startup needs to learn to manage cash flow and be prudent. Tech startup costs are cheap and could get cheaper. Usually tech related businesses help people streamline costs and do things better, which is what people look for during hard times.
