You won't know, unless you try. Many dreams/ideas became successes out of luck & hard work, (ie. Post Its, Facebook, Napster, Craigslist, Yahoo!, Google, Pet Rock, etc.). Just look at the many StartUp Companies getting venture capital. Make sure your ideas aren't duplicates, and protect your Intellectual Property (IP) from being stolen.

Do a search of companies acquired by Facebook, and you'll see (2) Malaysian Companies, Patchay.com & Octazen. Facebook also acquired Chai Labs for $10 Million, and the list goes on.
