Ideas are for Stealing

Let me give a shout for a blog that I read regularly and contribute to: www.venturewoods.org. Alok Mittal of Canaan Investments has done a great job in bringing Indian entrepreuners together. The business ideas often have too much of a specific Indian focus: good because it shows that there is a domestic market out there but but not so good when you think that next generation Indian start ups should really have a global focus. Nonetheless, it is a great site where you can meet enterprising people with interesting ideas. That is the best part of it: Alok has actually created a community.

I have just published a high level outline of a business idea and you can click on this link to reach there.

It is a Web 2.0 + SaaS type of business model and I personally find the confluence of these two emerging arenas very interesting. Please feel free to build on it and create a business if you want to. Just do provide a lyrical credit in much the same way Ringo Starr did in the number "I get by with a little help from my friends"
