I have made myself quite wealthy through entrepreneural efforts and
investing and would be very interested in working with anyone in this
group who has an idea or project of business merit.
Eliezer is correct that ideas are a dime a dozen in there raw form but
it is also true that if handled properly a fair percentage can be made
to produce profits and benifits beyond money. Both the idea person and
the person that helps convert the idea to a business or product can
develope a nice comfortable stream of income given even a few average
hits. One golden product can set someone up for a very large windfall.
Any interested parties can contact me personally at

I hope I haven't offended anyone with this off topic post.
