I think every aspiring entrepreneur likes side and bootstrapped projects. Meet-ups have all types of people. I've got one or two go-to guys I've met over the years. Whenever I feel like I want a new side project, I give one of them a call. We shoot the breeze a bit, and usually by the end of a 20 minute conversation we come across something intriguing. Often, it's a simple proof of concept we want to develop. A technique of social marketing, or a simple web app. Nothing has really taken off yet, but we're patient and have fun trying these random projects.
