    You have the opportunity to pitch you business plan to the Boards Dragons.

    You must sell a share in return for investment.

    We want your idea it must be viable and potentially very profitable. Boardsies will further probe your idea and pick holes.

    A boardsie may offer you investment and another boardsie can try and make a counter offer

    GO!

    GOOD LUCK! :-)

    I would give them a new tonic drink.

    Then tell them it was poison and have an auction for the one antidote i am selling.

    I actually came up with a really great idea that could take off, but I have no idea how to go about it and no head for business.

    So I'll just until someone else comes up with it and then kick myself when they're millionaires.

    no posts in the last hour, maybe they misunderstood what op meant by picking holes.

    It's exactly the same as boards.ie but has a usable menu system.

    I'd pitch that we buy a license so that we can produce the nokia 3210 and sell it to people. **** new technology! We can re brand it "the Luddite" and target the hipsters for the retro feel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭fizzypish

    That'd be brilliant. It'd be full of profile pics of really small puny men/women when in reality they are gigantic MMA/bodybuilders/boxers. You could call it Flame?

    No it's not a skate board... It's a multi function hover-board for use in space, but there's wheels on it for when you're on earth!

    A smartphone app designed specifically for leisure cyclists. Cycling holidays are huge here in mainland Europe. Link small businesses on the route to the cyclists on the route at that time.

    The ending of milk quotas will present opportunities for small farmers to come together to produce artisan dairy products for the European and Asian markets.

    A nostalgia business. A professional 'nostalgist' will organise themed nights for people looking to look through rose-tinted glasses at another era. The 80's era will feature Beat on the Street badges, Girls Just Want to have Fun being played on an infinite loop, and fat, middle-aged people attempting to play Twister.

    Data roaming would present a huge issue.

    I've always thought that there should be wheelchairs with built in wheelchair ramps so that people in wheelchairs don't get stuck everytime they come to a kerb

    Basically, a couple of articulated arms that tuck in behind the back of the chair and can be extended and placed on the ground in front of the chair and the wheelchair can pass over it and it can then be tucked away again.

    If car manufacturers can make fancy electric folding roofs for cabriolets, then I don't see how this could be impossible

    I had this idea for the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic.

    The plan is to make an exact replica of the Titanic sparing no expense getting every detail perfect. Then contact the rich and famous and charge 1 million per ticket and stowage tickets cost 5 thousand each.

    The on it's maiden voyage on the 100 year anniversary it will set sail but I will make the exact same mistake as the first time and travel too fast hitting an iceberg causing the ship to collapse and what do you know I now own the movie rights to a sequel to titanic which was one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

    step 3: profit.

    Milk sugar cups.

    Milk held in sugar casings. Dropped into coffee/tea they disolve.

    Or you build the ship, fill it with people, find an ice berg and **** it up with the ship that has been designed to nail ice bergs. Everyone can high 5, ride in vintage cars and say **** ice bergs. Be great crack.

    Tattoos, the ink is organic and will disolve/fade to nothing after 5 years. If you want to keep it, you top up at year 4.

    You're welcome.

    Wireless mouse that recharges itself via kinetic energy.

    App that alerts you whenever you're doing or sharing something that could result in you getting sued.

    Expiration dates for mobile apps that automatically delete themselves if unused for X days.

    Shazam for people you can't quite remember while at social and business gatherings.

    These already exist.

    You can download them over a wifi connection before you set off... even the most basic accommodation has wifi these days.
    Then it uses GPS tracking (no data roaming required) to track you on the map.
