#4554 Entrepinc

We hire you.
You pick a business plan to develop
You make it happen
You benefit from growth as well as us
You have options later of buying us out or something else.
Kind of a business incubator idea, but we pay you.
You get job security and get to be your own boss.
We own partial rights to your start-up with the ability to negotiate purchase down the road.
We put up capital and know-how of senior entrepreneurs on your team.
After one of your ideas takes off, you become the senior entrepreneur to help someone else succeed.

This idea keeps coming back to me. The ultimate goal would be to hire and make financially comfortable as many people as possible (including me).

This idea is also scalable. Scalable like a fractal. Since support is local to the project, once rolling there's no reason it can't roll very quickly. The scope of supported projects is that it has to "make life better for people". It is designed to be socially responsible from the outset and success is measured both in dollars made and benefit to people. It is not a non-profit because that would be sticky and more importantly because we want to pay taxes. Taxes also benefit the social. And if our taxes aren't being used properly, then we fund projects to try and fix that.

SandBox already has used a big portion of this idea. Surely my check is on it's way...

#7483 Broadcast Café

This café is wired. There are cameras and microphones everywhere. What goes on inside is constantly broadcast in real-time on the café's website. There is a bold disclaimer on the front door telling everyone who enters that their conversation and image will be viewable by anyone accessing the site. It is open from 6am to 2am the next morning to maximize global viewing time, without becoming too seedy. It is located in New York or LA or maybe both. Another option: At the same time, monitors in the cafe show analytics in real time of how many people are on the website and where they are located. Maybe it even shows how many people are watching each camera and listening to each microphone. Perhaps people on-line could post chats and be active participants as well. Would no one want to go to a café where their privacy is completely nil? Would no one want to sit at their computer and watch people living instead of doing it themselves? Or do people have an inner desire to be seen, especi...

#8799 Shot-gun microphone for Q&A sessions

Have you ever been in a speech or something where the speaker fields questions from the audience? If you weren't in a UN-style microphone-at-every-seat equipped room, then you probably saw one or two saps running the microphone around to those asking questions. I was this sap recently in a press conference, and although I consider myself quite agile, it still delayed things and was noisy for the cameras (not to mention my beautimous profile when I had to run in front of them). I've also heard people bragging about shot-gun mics that can pick up someone's voice leagues away. Couldn't these work in this situation, where the sap can just stand at the front with headphones on and point the mic at whoever is talking? Maybe it wouldn't work so well in a football stadium, but surely a 20-person press conference could manage. Right?

#9785 Forest garden scheme

Forest garden, agroforestry, intercropping, companion planting, forest farming, permaculture, edible forest gardens, silvopasture (I'm sure this list goes on and on) are all ways of using your farmland for more than one product. I like this idea for a few reasons. It creates more diverse products which should reduce the amount of travel for each one. It's more humane to animals than being raised in a small space. It apparently creates more stuff then each product alone (synergistic). There's apparently 10 times as much sun coming down at midday as any plant needs. But it requires a lot of skill and basically in this era of specialization, you gotta know everything there is to know about corn/cows/whatever to complete.  So here's my scheme. It's a little bit like a shopping mall. I buy a bunch of land. I put a fence around most of it. I then make lots on the edges. I lease the edge lots to different farmers with know-how. The farmers come plant, main...
