Yes, but with a much lower initial investment.
Take free-software, re-use, re-develop, and charge for 
hourly/weekly/monthly services.

As nothing is proprietary there is no advantage to having a big sales 
team, admin side, marketing strategy - I mean all these things are not 
as neccessary as they might be for proprietary softare.

Of course what is saved in that side is also shown in lower prices.

There are exceptions - sernet is perhaps one of them.
