business2blog: "B2.0's $50M Giveaway

Cashstack_1The cover story for B2.0's September issue is a bit of a challenge to entrepreneurs everywhere. Senior Writer Michael Copeland got 11 venture capitaliists to cough up business ideas that they would be willing to write a check for today if they could just find the right team and the right fully fleshed-out business plans. If you think you've got what it takes, e-mail the VCs at the end of each idea description. (For my money—not that I'm giving any away—the most solid ideas are Nos. 1,3, 4, and 10).


The ideas are:

1. Anti-Fraud Credit Card Authorization Via Cell Phones
2. On-Demand Bank Software for Back-Office Operations
3. Product Recommendation Engine That Actually Works
4. Simplified Subscription PCs for Seniors
5. Smart Card Wallets for Cell Phones
6. Open-Source Software for Corporate IT Services
7. Neighborhood Wikis/Swap Meet
