The real startup opportunities here are in enabling and informing the new markets that this act creates. Three opportunities that matter: 1. Due diligence (verifying the existence of the team, and the software; fact checking the prospectus, filtering out the outright scams) 2. Team and talent aggregation, think of the old hollywood studio guys who could pick up the phone and pull together the right team for the project in ten minutes; automate that process and scale it up. 3. Startups wanted (hat tip to pg) find out what this large new pool of investors wants to put their money on. Form new companies designed to appeal to these investors. Since that will be changing rapidly the skill of quickly putting together an offering that has high potential to return investors money will be a valuable one. There is a lot of detail in those three opportunities, and each one will probably be served by multiple organizations. I'm interested in talking to people about these new opportunities; if you're interested in building the new new economy and don't want it to flame out in a bunch of scams that give startups in general a bad name; and you're interested in releasing the latent talent and ingenuity that's been sidelined by the economic crisis. Drop me a line.
