An idea for startup dating...albeit a different way

Its a common practice for startups to pitch with their ideas at startup meet for recruiting like minded individuals. A couple of startup forums that I attended termed it as startup dating. It works fantastically well for both. The startup gets to recruit people who are willing to buy into the idea and the individuals interested to work in startup get an idea / venture they can connect with.

It's idea I would like to present with a twist. There are many individuals who have fantastic ideas, can visualize those ideas to the tee but however due one reason or the other are never able to do anything about it. 

On other hand you have fantastic executioners who are willing to take the risks and have what it takes to make an idea a reality. However they may not be always good with ideas.

So what I propose is to create a platform where these two can interact, assess and collaborate to bring the ideas to their fruition. However the most challenging part of such a collaboration would be terms and conditions of engaging the other. If it does go through we may see more ideas coming to the fore and reaching their destiny achieving success they are meant to.

My First Salary

Can people share their experience about the first salary. For many people the first salary is really special and a moment to cherish, a stepping stone to achieving their dreams. To spending the money on themselves, to treating friends, to offering it to their parents, to some investing it...varied people have varied ways of celebrating the moment special. Probably the website can help people connect with each other and share what they actually did with their first salary. They can also act as mentor / counsel to others about what they need to do to earn their rightful first salary. How to negotiate, how to deal with the anxiety of being the first timer and other such insights which can be really helpful. Worth a thought but however needs to be explored further to bring it into reality.

Just a Crazy Little Idea

Service providers usually add late fee charges in case of delay of payment. It's a common practice and almost a norm across all sectors from banks to telecom service providers. The late fee charges in a way reinforce that bills need to paid on time or be prepared to bear the charges. There's nothing wrong in doing this and makes perfect business sense, rarely I have seen any one incentivise payment of bills before due date. This incentives need not be monetary, rather they can be in kind offering trade off for increasing customer satisfaction and enhancing customer experience. Imagine getting those extra minutes of talk time from your telecom service provider or an blockbuster movie exclusively for you by your DTH provider. It may sound like a crazy idea but then if one gives it a serious thought the impact will definitely worth try.

Call Reject Messages

How about an app that integrates call reject messages (I am busy; I am in a meeting; Will call you later) with Whatsapp, so instead of sending an SMS excusing for not attaining the call, one can do the same using Whatsapp.
