My first reaction to this is a simple one, friends. However I realized that there isn’t really another place I can go for advice. Sure family isn’t a bad option but all to often they don’t have the right mindset. What fellow entrepreneurs see as creative/fresh, family will see as odd/risky.
Don’t get me wrong, going to friends with my ideas is a great resource. They generally have a lot of great input and begin that process of shaping and shifting that idea into something great. But there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to access more people that think like this online. There’s forums for entrepreneurs and maybe you have a lot of contacts on twitter that are entrepreneurs. But I feel it’s hard to get some fresh input from people I have never met or contacted.
Now I’ve used sites like HalfBakery.com and CreativityPool.com which are open idea forums. The problem is that these sites not only generate responses to your idea at a crawl but provide no other platform to take your idea or relationship with someone on the site.
This is one of my reasons for creating MindFrenzy.com. With the hope that down the road we can combine a vibrant community of innovative thinkers with a way to form relationships to bring ideas to life. Join the community to help us reach these goals.
