New Business Ideas

At today’s Shotput Ventures office hours we had the chance to hear several different entrepreneurs talk about their business ideas. Normally, I like to have five questions answered before digging into the strategy. After listening to the ideas, one of the entrepreneurs asked if we had any business ideas we liked. Here’s one we batted around:

• Platform for iPad to operate in kiosk mode
• Dynamically include the current edition of multiple magazines
• Distribute the iPads in doctor offices (need a way to lock them down!)
• Show ads based type of doctor, demographics, and track article readership

Generating ideas is the fun part. Executing on the idea is the most difficult, and rewarding part. What’s your idea?
