Ideas fighting for the common good.

Let's face it - a lot of us are busy working on projects that pay the bills but don't really fulfill our idealistic aspirations. We'd like to contribute to something that has significance in the grander scheme of things, without deserting what we are currently working for. Is there a way?

Enter Idea Contest 2.0 - Here you can brainstorm in teams composed of people with diverse skill sets (founders, developers, entrepreneurs, VCs, marketing, PR etc.) and within 15 minutes come up with an idea that could improve our world, even by a little.

But you don't have to quit your job, or commit to any responsibility that will burden your already busy schedule. Think freely without worrying. And if your team wins the vote at the end, build the idea enough to have something to show for it and we might get a chance to show off the idea in one of the popular New Tech meetups in the Bay Area (SF New Tech, SFBeta, Silicon Valley New Tech, STIRR etc.) and try to AUCTION it off. Feeling magnanimous? Ask only to be acknowledged as the originator of the idea. Want a cut of the action? Why don't you ask for a percentage of the profits in exchange for some of your time every month in the form of advice and expertise to the team that won the bid? Don't want to auction it off but would rather do it yourself? You can do that too.

What matters is tapping the creative capital of the Bay area and using it for some good without the risk of a personal crash. Sounds good? Sign up!
