FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Welcome to the Virtual Incubator
an open ongoing Entrepreneurial Brainstorm!

The word 'Virtual', here, is in the business jargon usage, in reference to interaction Online, and is not in any way meant to denote mere simulation, with never any real consequence. Au contraire!

Indeed, by "incubating" what is meant is to develop the appropriate business plans backed with the required research, to advance business case argument for the pursuit of Venture Capital, of start-up funding. -From first concept to completion.

Indeed, the very first project of the Virtual Incubator must be to bootstrap the Virtual Incubator itself!

What will be required is development of any clear business model for the Virtual Incubator.

Perhaps, just as one of many possible formulae only by way of an illustrative example, for a business concept to be considered for incubation, the sponsoring firm or group, to become a client of or participant in the Virtual Incubator, might be required to assign, pledge or otherwise allocate a certain percentage of its units / equity / revenues to the Virtual Incubator business entity.

Formalities of such or similar nature are to be to help specify and clarify expectations for all parties involved. Indeed, once the "transaction" of value is established, there will accrue the requisite bargaining power, the lure by which to draw talent into development from concept to completion, with remuneration in equity for future profit sharing in the Virtual Incubator business entity.

The hope is to assemble a core group and build an Online community dedicated to such a project.

 The Biz Plan Metacontest (proposal)

The concept is of a continually updated roundup of all available business plan contest information, with tools and forums, to bring aspiring entrepreneurs together to develop and pursue new proposals.

Capitalism at it's finest!

The idea is to make most opportune use of other people's prize money in order to help promote the Virtual Incubator!

NO MORE CIA "BLOWBACK"!  LET'S ONLY TRAIN AND FINANCE 
NICE PEOPLE FROM NOW ON.
 
Yeah, fat chance!! 

 

Work in harmony with one's nature may renew hope for success.
But to work against one's nature will all too often only work against you.

                           MESSAGE BOARD   


"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

— Margaret Mead

 

 

Solicitation for Co-Founders!

In an information economy, everything is different:

Smart people don't even want the pay, we want the equity, baby!

The greatest challenge is always that of implementation. The Web is full of ideas and visions, even good ones, but often vague about their realization, such being the primary focus of this website:

Every day, if they can't do it all by themselves, people are pooling their skills and connections in real coordination, cooperation and full collaboration, coming together in the effort to form entirely new enterprises that did not exist before. So why not you and me, gentle reader? Not just simple Retail, and certainly not Affiliate/Multilevel Marketing Pyramid Ponzi Scams by any other name, but just perhaps even entirely new ways of doing things such that might catch on and change the world forever. -Affinity organization into new cause and action,  building trust and working together in reciprocal logistical support, new business ventures, alternative grass roots political Activism and all manner of effective creative endeavor.

Visionary pioneering Entrepreneurs desperately needed:
Technicians, programmers, webdesigners, MBAs, CFOs, lawyers and paralegals, Activists, lobbyists, promoters, publicists, patent expertise, what-have-you! just to name a few, and others, anywhere in the world with an Internet connection, to form as yet unCapitalized new business start-up from scratch, first concept. No salary, expenses or commissions, heavy responsibility, long odds, no resources, grueling hardship, and the derived satisfaction, personal growth, learning, invaluable work experience, and challenging creativity of participation in a unique and intensely interesting cutting edge high tech inception stage venture. 

Nothing can be promised but the daunting realities. High chances of endless delay, fiscal disaster, calamitous failure and utter collective humiliation. Obscene profits, blue chip equity, acclaim, accomplishment, self realization, true love, and all from saving the world, should we succeed. Ideas a plus. Strategic Partners welcome. Promotional Exchange valued. 
 

Got a problem with any of this?
WARNING: Not a paying job, just an adventure!
And services and products described and proposed may not yet exist.

 

A Business Plan is a description in full detail of a any business enterprise covering operational business structure, required resources, authority, responsibilities, abilities, aptitudes, temperaments, equity, remuneration, products and services, market research and marketing strategy, complete budget and financial projections with expenses and revenue for up to five years. Both startups and existing businesses require business plans. Hence, developing such documents generally requires a great deal of research and number-crunching.

A business plan is crucial for two primary reasons:

First, spending the time researching and fleshing out such details clarifies thinking, generating information previously not considered and a workable strategy to follow for the period covered by the plan. A sound business plan is a blueprint to success, outlining the steps to move from idea to success. And should due diligence reveal that an idea isn't destined for success, then better to know now than a year later and thousands of dollars poorer. Indeed, the time saved may be invested in planning another better idea with any better chance.

Secondly, in any hope to raise funds through business loans, venture capitalists, even an angel or an incubator, let us never even consider approaching any sort of lender or investor without a thoroughly researched business plan in hand!

Moreover, experts generally estimate that even for experienced professionals with competent management teams already recruited, information resources ready and available, no less than six weeks will be required for development even of the most ordinary of ideas into a business plan. So just whipping one up the very day before a meeting or appointment simply will not do.

  • Huge market potential
  • First Mover Advantage
  • Great Ideas

  • Identifying Competitors if any  
  • To Forge Strategic Alliances & Partnerships

Q. And just what defines a well crafted biz plan, such as we may hope to author in collaboration?

Q. But what is the current condition of these proposals?

A. Our work will certainly be cut out for us!

But first of all, thank you for interviewing me!  

In schooling, work, commerce and politics, one way or another we are all perpetually called upon to perceive the constraints that we are subjected to as being our own consent.

And such may well be the true cause of wide spread apathy and the mistrust that inhibits real non-zero-sum cooperation.  

You have the right and the obligation to make absolutely certain that you can tolerate the risk and sacrifice entailed in joining in any new venture, such proposed or solicited on this website. And I accept the responsibility to make every effort in addressing whatever your concerns as best I may. 

In particular, issues of control need to be explicit, as ambiguity and disagreement, innocent or dissembling, will tend to be no less damaging than heavy handed tyranny outright. Hence, the investment of time, effort and attention into preliminaries to clarify powers, responsibilities and their motivations, so often neglected, no less often turns out to be crucial.

Indeed, the above forms the central issue of a detailed questionnaire:

Turn-Key CGI 

Shared turn-key Advertising Media Content Creation franchise for new ventures, complete with financing, and Distance Learning and on the job training for sweat equity invested Digital Artists:

 

The opportunity and strategy comes by way of the ongoing revolution in computer technology in Graphics and Animation. This technology offers unprecedented performance, productivity, and ease of use and learning curve, all with less labor and maintenance, for the independent Digital Artist to become attractively competitive in the creation of truly High-End Media Content.

 

 

 
 


The concept is to market a fully supported turnkey in house Digital Media Content Creation Unit, complete with equipment lease, support, on the job training (cutting edge Distance Learning, fully accredited and complete with student loans), plus Human Resource on an equity basis. The typical operating budget will be approximately half a Mil, over five years, including a $300,000.00 equipment lease through that term. The purpose of the output (the High-End Digital Media Content) will be dissemination in the form of flashy TV commercials, WebPages, print, FAX, emailable electronic brochures. Etc.

The target market is comprised of new and expanding ventures, each raising from 3 to 8 Mil, that can benefit from such a cost-effective Media edge, possibly as a shared resource first in raising capital, and then in marketing. Because, optionally, to be even more thrifty, several such ventures can even share a single such facility, together as a co-op. 

This may even be arranged for them. 

Stock brokerages, private placement consultantships, Investor Relations and Capital raising companies will be approached to offer added value by forming consortiums with their start-up and expanding clients for this purpose. 

Public Relations firms currently reliant upon out sourcing for Media Content Creation, are also to be approached with the opportunity to join with other strategic partners in backing the pilot program, the prototype for the franchise, and to serve as franchise marketer there after. 

Such a Public Relations firm would immediately benefit from an in house Digital Media Content Creation Unit. But, most importantly, they would be the ones marketing the franchises which will essentially be duplicate fully supported turnkey Digital Media Content Creation Units, in turn, to their clients. The Public Relations firm would bring clients in the front door, simply by marketing their established Public Relations services, just as they already do. Then the Public Relations firm would also be able to provide for the client's Media Content Creation needs, as well, in house; with no more need of going out source anymore. Finally, clients would be availed of the opportunity to acquire their own fully supported turnkey in house Digital Media Content Creation Unit, as a franchise. 

The advantages of such an arrangement are numerous, and include cost effectiveness, Capital raising and marketing advantage, the ease of lease Capitalization for the Hardware and Software, and the compelling motivation of equity participation (constituting another increment of capital) to focus the labor of the Digital Artists.

Cost effective Media Content Creation under our control will also be an asset to  CASA , Publicity being so crucial to expanding the user pool for effective matching. A Strategically Partnered Public Relations firm will also be of great help in sales for CASA Online Advertising and Marketing services.

The pilot Online collaborative screen writing workshop is now open!

The proposed contest promotion and media services 

My loglines   

 

Beyond the current pilot program, this is is a proposal for a CASA matched and optimized Online Cyberfiction writing community, as an ongoing entertainment and amusement for target audiences, from the masses of the enthusiastically inept to an open elite of the capable and serious, with an interest in fiction of whatever kind, Print or even Media, including an ongoing collaborative script writing contest/workshop. The "winners", the best scripts, will be selected to be promoted as properties to studio Producers and to Venture Capitalists as Indy film ventures.

Customers will also be able to purchase membership in Media ventures Online, to become small investors, owning fractional units, by the purchase, in advance, of a finished viewing of the completed work. Members will also have Online access to see weekly video coverage of production, interviews, and interact with the content creators and talent. 

 

 

 

 

   

 

In return for rights and equity, market testing data will be generated using CASA to analyze audience interests and customer preferences. The market-selected works are to  be released Online directly to broadband customers, and the traditional rights will be sold or leased to distributors domestically and worldwide for box office, video, and cable/satellite dish/networks. Also merchandising, cross-promotion, product placement and other tie-ins.

The Venue

Yes, there is life outside of Cyberspace! And money to be made, too. CASA, after all, will also make local matches, not just on the Net. While CASA will offer activity, event, and venue suggestions, why not actually design for socializing in the physical world? CASA will continually gather feedback for ongoing improvement.

Here, then, is the germ of an idea for a franchise venue chain with an emphasis upon play for all ages. In short, to enhance the bottom line, some sort of version of the Discovery Zone or Exploratorium could also be adapted for all age groups, to compete with, well, every other impractical expenditure beyond basic survival, to target progressively older age groups as the day wears on, thus serving an untapped adult market, not to mention the young adult market where there is still a lack of good alcohol free venues. 

 


 

 Rajesh Pradhan's

The SCHOOL FOR ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIAL ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT

Business education as we know it is hopelessly Inductivist. But Rajesh Pradhan's has proposed a better alternative, and is hard at work putting together finance for a series of workshops to demo the concepts for his proposed school.

Indeed, the dire need for any true Entrepreneurial education at all is as relevant anywhere in the world, and not just in India.

Of particular interest, also, is Rajesh Pradhan's Theory of Social Entrepreneurship, of human nature and doing well by doing good, as well as his formula of mixed capitalization from the combination of private, public, profit and non profit funding sources.

 


 


Here are two very distinct and clearly unmet educational needs, marketing gaps/opportunities...

It is disgraceful, after all, how students are exploited, time wasted and milked for money, with required substandard courses in their first two collegiate years. Might there be a better way? 

And it is alarming how difficult it is to find real adequate guidance and support for initiating commerce on one's own rather than simply preparing for entrance into the structured environment of the corporate world.

But what can be done?

      

 

 


 

Comprehensive Humanistic Futurism with Mark Aveyard,

A call to action for Pro-Space Activists to infiltrate and co-opt the  Environmental Movement for it's own good!

This is a non profit proposal under development, including corporate sponsor promotions and even Political access strategies, for a political advocacy, the purpose of which will be to promote paradigm shift towards clean expanding production, and away from short sighted false dilemmas of what amounts to engineered scarcity on a Global scale.

The concept is of an ongoing consciousness raising campaign, because the Environmentalists and big business need to stop agreeing that we are forced to choose between Conservation and Production. Instead, we should feed the Oceans to promote marine population explosion, transition from farming to Hydroponics, and migrate Heavy Industry Off World where mineral resources and energy are cheap, clean and plentiful.  

 

(And, no, how can we "f*** up Outer Space, the same as the Earth"? That's just silly! Obviously, air and water pollution are impossible in the vacuum. That's the whole point!)

 

Ecology and Economy can be in significant common cause for more than just inane collusion in the idiotic NeoMalthusian Big Lie of mythical scarcity and needless Draconian choices. All these proposed measures maximize both Environmental protection and economic production and real progress better than any alternative. It's a true win-win vision!

 

 

And, leave us not forget the terrifyingly neglected dire need to be prepared to detect and prevent the ultimate natural disaster, periodic mass extinction brought on by random Asteroid collision with the Earth.

 
 


 

Solar furnace

An audacious proposal from Inventor/engineer: Jerry Scovel for cost effective climate regulation, clean water and power by way of lasers diffracted and focus from orbit about the sun!

A system to be based upon a solar furnace design standard and commercially available in France.

Deployment of the system both in Earth orbit and in Solar orbit is also possible cost effectively with components off the shelf.

The proposed system is even designed to destroy those pollutant  chlorofluorocarbons in the upper atmosphere which damage the Ozone Layer!  

 

 

 

Are you Paranoid enough?!

Bullying is rampant, a problem in a wide range of social settings and contexts, destructive both to the lives of the targets of bullying, and detrimental to every benefit that society affords us all.

So, here is a proposal for perhaps the most militant anti-bullying initiative the world has ever seen.
