    Diapers.com ranked #47 World's Most Valuable Internet Startups 2009

    Estimated value: $200 million
    CEO: Marc Lore

    Located in Montclair, NJ, Diapers.com sells diapers and other products that new parents need.

    "Sometimes great ideas are fairly simple. Who would have guessed there would be a sizable market for the sale of Diapers online?  Apparently Diapers.com founders Marc Lore and Vinit Bharara after being frustrated with the brick-and-mortar diaper shopping experience."

    The Silicon Alley Insider estimates that the company will earn just under $70 million in revenue this year and apply a 3-times multiple (on the high end for an e-commerce company) to come up with a $200 million valuation.
