What do you want entrepreneurs?

Well, it's officially been an incredibly long time since I've posted anything on Wyospace. Much apologies.

Today, I was thinking about what we and our partners at the University of Wyoming offer as far as programs that directly benefit entrepreneurs, which lead me to a question: What types of programs would be the most helpful to you as an entrepreneur?

Being Wyoming and all, we can't really offer any meaningful grant programs (which probably is ok) though we do have some pretty good loan programs for equipment and buildings.

Nonetheless, will you do me a favor and comment on this story with some ideas on things we could do to assist you better as an entrepreneur?

Appreciate it!

Idea Blob (kersphlat!)

So, this is going to be the definition of a short posting...

A couple of weeks ago I attended a conference in California that focused on entrepreneurial education.

One of the vendors at the tradeshow was called "ideablob.com". The site runs on an awesome concept where people throw out business ideas to the entire group of people online at ideablob, then users vote on which idea they think is the best for the week. Ideablob then awards $10,000 to the most popular idea.

They're able to do this because of sponsorship by Advanta. Nonetheless, give them a look and post some ideas. Maybe you could be the next $10,000 winner.
