UPDATED NEWS PIECE!





Ok, here is what I am thinking.

AT probably has one of the smartest, inventive, and technical user base of any other internet site. What I am proposing we do is start a private topic to discuss a possible business venture. I am sure if we put all of our minds and contacts together we could design a product, produce, and market our idea for a nice profit, possibly starting our own business.

The way I see it we would need:

Idea People
Lawyers
Marketing
Get it done people (manufacturing)
Programming/Development
Finance/Accounting
etc.

We would first need the lawyer to draw up a non-disclosure before people joined the topic, that way we stay legit, and anyone who assists would share in our profits.

What do you think?

EDIT IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE PRIVATE TOPIC, PLEASE CHECK IT NOW. YOU HAVE A TASK ASSIGNED.

It's a nice idea, but it would be pretty difficult to actually put together.. all the legal aspects, etc..

I'm in. ;)

who knows.. We would start with a brainstorming session where the idea folks can interact with the marketing, manufacturing, development, etc.. until we figure that out.

I think it's a recipe for disaster and resentment.

That is all.


Why? I think if we design a non-disclosure agreement, and people would be booted for non work etc..

owners equity/stock to insure people are legitamitly interested in the success of the business. If people have a financial investment in the company they are more likely to stick with it and work hard to see that there investment pays off.
