Big corporates + IT consultants = opportunity for entrepreneurs?

I'm a startupper and a geek. As most of you here I love solving problems. Sometimes I feel there are so many problems in the world that could be solved in a novel way, but since many of us don't have a domain specific knowledge that goes beyond CS or our everyday life, many problems of the industry remain unsolved or partially solved using old-style solutions.<p>Think about all corporates paying consultants to solve their problems. And probably their problems are the same ones of other big companies. So, would't it be smarter to invest in a startup of some passionate people that could solve that problem for good, in a novel way and maybe even making revenues out of that?<p>I've done consultancy many times in the past and I've seen this scenario many times where a startup of passionate people could do a much better job of a team of highly paid consultants.<p>Matteo
