or a mobile app game that involves a strong level of addiction and gambling mechanics to monetize ;)
I launched a funded startup for that. We launch in a few weeks. We are called VsMe Gaming.
A company that allows you to search the Internet for information and content. This is an especially interesting concept because this company can then mine your search data and generate advertisements that cater to your particular interests.
Woah. I think you're on to something here.
Too bad you just posted it so everyone can see it!
A company that serves as mobile payments processor/merchant services provider. Imagine being able to accept credit or debit cards offline, through some sort of hardware that attaches itself to the audiojack of an iPhone/Android phone! It would make payment processing easier for any sort of mobile business, like food trucks.

Help with a start up idea (Originally Posted: 11/16/2011)
I am a college senior, and I have had a couple internships in finance, particularly in trading and Asset Management. Through my experiences I have come across a niche software product that some financial professionals use. I have a lot of experience working with 2 different softwares in the same niche industry (both big players in the niche industry) and because it is a small market I feel that the software is being ignored (it is old, clumsy, slow, and overall hard to use). I have talked to people that I worked with about the software and they all bitch about the software. In addition, I have done a lot of digging and I really can't find many companies in the industry. I know what I would change about the software. The problem I have is I really don't know how to write software programs. Also, to write the whole software program and get it ready for market would be expensive (several million if I had to guess). I truly believe that there is an opportunity in the market, but what should my next step be? Do I need to have a basic program put together to get funding, or a solid business/ marketing plan? Who should I reach out to to write the program?
Thanks for any help.
stackoverflow is a good place to start
You need to talk to anyone and everyone about your idea. Get some supporters who are legitimately interested in the outcome. Gather data to show whether or not an improvement is desired - you need more than just anecdotal evidence if you want to raise money. You'd also need a strong team of people interested in entrepreneurship and the idea.
Be as open as possible, especially in the early stages. Your idea has no value unless you have an ability to execute on it. Start working on a business plan and continuously update it. Having sample code or mockups significantly improve the quality of your business plan.
Good luck. Start ups are extremely difficult, especially if you're not connected with the entrepreneurial types. Those people are constantly bouncing ideas off each other, and no one is really the sole owner of an idea unless he or she can do everything alone. You'll find that the intelligent people are the busiest, often working on multiple projects.
Coding software is the easy part, it's the execution of the business plan that is tough. First of course, you need a business plan, which I don't think you do. Key questions you want in your business plan (nothing new here): -idea -comp advantage -market assessment -execution strategy -financial model
-software is definitely hard to break into, if it's not an off the shelf software product (like MS Office), then you will need to have the software implemented, migrated, have user acceptance and training, etc.
To get yourself started, I'd say do the following: -short business plan based on the abvoe -more market research to solidify the idea -network with angel investors/tech entrepeneurs (tons of social programs TiE, etc) -startup capital will come form: you, friends/famiily, angel investors (will low value your company)
-remember software is tough, you have no patent protection pretty much so anyone can copy your idea and with better execution run you over..but being an entrepeneur is not about the payout it's about the experience
good luck!
You should probably learn to rap as well..

Create an app where you upload all articles of clothing, the app then picks what you will wear for you.
Since you have a passion for investment bank, why not start one?
I would keep tabs on what Xerox is up to, pilfer all of their ideas and pawn them off as your own and become the richest man in the world.

Create an app that lets you take a picture and send it out to the world on-the-line. This app should let you have filters to make pictures look retro. Then call this app pic-toe-gram.

Why not a lucid dreaming app that allows me to dream about being Gekko or Bateman while being married to a Playmate.
so unobtainable for you that it should be considered your dream's dream
Life's great! Scratch the old dream; I just had a dream that is about 15X happier. I propose a device that can recreate old dreams. Got that, "passionforinvestment bank".
Dream's dream?

Vasectomy is immoral and a Sin , I can't do that.

texmexmsg
Agreed. Blumie had a genius idea with this company. SMS --> Tex-Mex cuisine is the next big thing. Act fast before Elon Musk enters the fray.

I have an idea that makes keeping track of weight loss relatively easy. But we need some partnerships with some pretty big companies to make this happen.
How is it different from MyFitnessPal or Calorie Counter?
Your office chair, via bluetooth connection, tells you how fat you're getting in real time as you waste away in your cubicle, scarfing down seamless and getting exercise only your walk to and from the can?
How is that any different than a scale?
Create a flushable diaper (they only have flushable inserts right now).
I was thinking about creating a credit card company (which I think OP would agree should be pretty easy) targeted at children and teens within the top 1%. It would be called "Monopoly Money" and there would be card designs available for each Monopoly denomination (with the white $1 being for newcomers to plastic, and the orange $500 being for experienced 16-18 year-olds who can handle a higher limit, for instance). Aside from just being innovative in general, it would also be set apart from existing (boring) credit card companies because users would occasionally get "Chance" and "Community Chest" notifications after transactions. For instance, "Lucky you! Enjoy double points for the next month" or "Uh oh! You'll be charged double for that transaction."
you're so intelligent, i'd
Dishwasher safe, reusable condoms
I guess my question is, if there was a product that could eliminate most or all of your journaling and count your calories for you, would you use it? And how much would it be worth?
