But some of those ideas are good! Seriously, though:

> First, go and find out about Github. Figure out what it is they do, how they attract users, and how they make money. Github is already operating well in the Programming space, but perhaps the same basic ideas can be applied in the Photography space. That's where you come in.

This needs an "Request a prospectus" button. Get an email, send a prospectus, if they want to fund it figure out what the hell you just got funded! :)

This site literally displays how much talent is required to make a flat design and come up with a startup idea. (none) Implementation and execution are key.
