Co-founder
IdeaCV.com
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)
January 2007 — Present (11 months)
IdeaCV is the premiere online idea-sharing community, founded out of Stanford University. Our goal is to generate and facilitate connections & interactions between innovators, entrepreneurs, and thinkers around the world.
I have noticed a recent trend towards the open sharing of ideas in Silicon Valley. With IdeaCV, we hope to usher in this new generation of open idea-sharing.
Our philosophy: SHARE EVERY IDEA YOU HAVE! Most often, people will chime in with input you would never have thought of. And the possibility that someone would take your idea, execute it exactly as you would, and leave you out in the cold is so unlikely and worth the tiny amount of risk in order to bring about open, valuable discussion that ultimately brings your idea closer to a reality.
As of October '07, the site is currently in an open alpha, so please sign up and email me with suggestions, feature requests, and general feedback. -
