Tell me why a room-and-board-and-bandwidth incubator is a stupid idea
marcamillion: Just a thought...and this could be very crazy, however if you were able to pull 'camps' together, where each camp is 'hosted' by someone 'famous'.Just like Y Combinator is hosted by PG, etc., if you get the city behind it, then get a few noteworthy ex-entrepreneurs - and put them up in a building of their own, they might be interested.As the other guys/gals pointed out, there has to be some key value-proposition. Maybe something unique to the area?This might be something you might be able to get a federal grant to do, considering the many ideas the President's team has been throwing against the wall to see what sticks. I wouldn't be surprised if there were grants already available that you could use.If I were not married with a kid, I would definitely strongly consider it.
