Congrats, great idea. Not too dissimilar from Yunus' microloans or his Social Business concept.
Thanks. I'm actually a huge fan of Muhammad Yunus' microloans program. I've had ~ $400 on a loan rotation at kiva.org for some time now.

#12This is a cool idea.
$200 is probably not that incentivizing to most us/Western European based entrepreneurs. However it may be a big deal in other regions.
Perhaps you might want to consider marketing in geographic locations where you think $200 would make a difference to the entrepreneur.

#13This is either a really funny joke or the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I really can’t tell which, but I’m hoping for joke.
I'm hoping for a joke as well. $200 for 3% is a scam!
