No doubt action is key! In the words of my favorite philosopher, “Git ‘er Done”! You’ve got my support. We need leaders that are not only in the trenches but also understands the rules of engagement for the current war. I think you are just that guy.

There’s plenty of talent here… it just going to waste. If Utah can do it, so can we:

Could we find 8 teams of young entrepreneurs to participate in a 6 to 12 month startup bootcamp? Absolutely… freshly minted grads aren’t even finding jobs today, much less their dream job. We could find 8 teams that would jump at the chance to build their own dream job… I personally know of 4 worthy teams of students raring to go.

Could we start 8 meaningful businesses in 6 months? Absolutely… Give me 8 computer programmers each paired with a business school grad with an aptitude for sales and I’d go to war against anyone.

Add in $15,000 of seed money per team and a few motivated mentors and I’d be shocked if 4 of the 8 weren’t cash flow positive at the end of 6 months.

Seasoned entrepreneurs may think I’m crazy… they may say you can’t start a REAL business with two college students and only $15,000. They are clueless.

I started 4 successful businesses before I was 30. I started a $20 million business with $49 of seed capital while in medical school. It can be done, but it can’t be done by blowhards in ivory towers.

I’ll put up $10,000, a conference room, some server space, and some mentoring… find me 11 more investors willing to put their money (and rolodex) where their mouth is, and I’ll make it happen.

Talk is cheap. Ideas are a dime a dozen. If 11 investors step THIS MONTH, we will have this program off the ground BY JULY.
