Do you have a business idea? Perhaps it's something you've been thinking of doing for a while, but have never actually done. It could be a web site for people in your neighborhood - or perhaps you have an idea to help employees collaborate better within an organization, like Huddle.net. Or maybe you want to change the world through micro-finance, like Kiva.org!
