My product (not a startup, and not a project, since 2003) http://www.devside.net/server/webdeveloper helps everyone get started with creating and developing (and hosting) websites.
I have people that don't understand what a file system is running an Apache, PHP, and MySQL web server, installing and working with WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, etc, with a few clicks.
I also have just as many professional web developers and businesses using the product.
It simply makes their lives easier. They get to skip the headache and pain of downloading, matching runtimes, configuring, setting up, creating virtualhosts, reading forums and blogs, etc.
There are free alternatives (xampp, wampserver, etc) to WampDeveloper, but I really don't compete with them in any way... Full control panel, 1 click website creation, local DNS, auto webapp installation, uses advanced features of the NTFS filesystem such as junction points and hard links, keeps Apache, PHP, and MySQL up-to-date, professional support, and quite a bit more.
