#39How about an website that collects/harvests good startup ideas? Like what we're doing on this HN page?
This post comes up regularly on HN, and a comment like yours is pretty much guaranteed to accompany it. I wonder why such a site has yet to exist?
What if we made a site where ideas could be posted, along with the likely resources required (programmers, marketers etc.) and interested parties could sign on to them. An idea which garnered a full group could spin off into a project/company. The site wouldn't make money but would be valuable for the participants, and would be fitting as a derivative of YC, which finds companies from the very beginning.
