Motivation: Why do you want to participate and what skills would you bring to a team? *	I want to sharpen my skills, share ideas and create a successful business model. I have owned my own accounting, talking balloon, and storage business. I am now the partner in a small business development consultant firm started last year. I would bring a wealth of business ownership experience, networking knowledge, and more.
Ideas: Do you have an idea for a startup? If so, tell us about your idea in a few sentences. If you don’t have an idea, name one or two recent startups that you find exciting and why. *
I have several ideas I would like to share. One of the ideas would be to start a commercialization company. Research Parks have been popping up every where. One of the problems many of them have is how to actually get their products to market. Another Idea I have, would be to create a shopping website that would allow people to purchase products, newspaper or magazine subscriptions etc.. from anywhere in the world and have a pay pal type of money conversion site that would automatically convert the payment to that country's currency. The way the website would make money would be through membership. Charge a fee for participating businesses to sell their products or services on the site.
