Idea Incubators Podcast for April 9, 2008
Three weeks ago we began a series of FREE Conference Calls on Facebook entitled Idea Incubators. We created an associated page for this interest group on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Idea-Incubators/12333049347.
The idea behind these weekly calls is simple -
How do we raise our visibility, grow our network, and expand into new ventures using social media and it’s tools.
Our networks include talented and creative people who can brainstorm and incubate ideas together for the benefit of all of us.
The calls take place each Wednesday evening at 7:30pm PDT. Everyone is wecome, and we encourage you to come join in if this topic is of interest.
Recorded copies of each call are available on Facebook, but we’ll also be podcasting these calls.

My name is Hezekiah Bates. I’m starting my own IP licensing company. However, I’m a little stuck on funding for the development of my ideas. Do you have any suggestions as to where I might start to get funding to incubate my ideas?

The best entry into funding opportunities is to hone your idea, get a very clear picture of the value proposition (remember investors want to know where and how the return on investment is coming), and hit the road to all the right conferences. If you don’t know investors, start introducing yourself. Make connections. Build and leverage your social network and start making connections.
It’s a long laborious process, but persistence pays off as long as there’s a solid plan with a value proposition behind it.
