That's a nice way to start a conversation :) Thanks for the encouragement, I get those a lot :) You are absolutely right about what you say, but, I don't think you got the point of Aleveo. We're not trying to be next Google or Yahoo Answers, or any sort of similar service. What you describe is answer service. Also the focus is wrong. We do not aim at making money out of students' ideas, but to provide them with help to get in touch with companies, so that they can have better jobs tomorrow, and there is space for profits too. I know it's difficult to understand social oriented business, but here is one. If we think about companies, they do not have problems, or if they did, they wouldn't talk about. They have employees to solve their problems. But, Aleveo provides the company with this channel for external input on their offerings, with constructive feedback how to improve stuff, or make new. Lets say I think of a new automotive door handle that is easier to user, looks better, yet is cheaper to produce. What will I do as a student? Build a company around that? Not really. But at least I will show it to someone who will appreciate it. If lets say FIAT adopts this idea or thinks its viable, they award the student with something either money, sponsorship, internship or whatever they like. Moreover, the company gets to see who can is suitable to be part of their innovation culture. There is no innovation in tried and tested model, and for sure no entrepreneurialism. It's not all about the money. The major idea of Aleveo is for students to push ideas to companies. And this is especially needed in visual things such as industrial design let's say. So, for the student above, he could tag his idea "FIAT" and when someone from Fiat logins, he can see ideas submitted to them. Challenges are a "pull" method on the other hand. Indeed, we've been doing a research on the topic for 6 months, but the development took only one. I'll post the research as an idea, I think you'll find it shocking what the current youth unemployment situation is doing long term. Thanks for the critic, I find it highly constructive, and I appreciate your toughness.
