Count me!!!!!
I really wanted to start my own company. I haven't decided yet that what type of company I will start, but really willing to.

What's stopping me is definitely that I don't have backup. Also capital required for starting a company, I don't have it currently.

Steps taking, I would say I am making my friends ready to help me in doing that. We keep thinking, discussing of new business ideas. Also I keep awareness about what's going on in business world.

Some important web sites I would like to mention here.

Alright. Kedar mentioned a very common problem faced by wannabe entrepreneurs.

First of all, willingness to do something different is a good way to start.

As you said, you have not yet have an idea. How could you decide that you do not have enough capital and a backup to get started?

Embedded company? Awesome best of luck bro!

Well I want to start my own venture as well. I am currently developing a low cost IC tester using a PC interface. Hopefully it can be priced far lower than current market rates. If this comes up fine, I might sell the design or do something about it. But its really too premature to actually comment on its success.

mahul, would you like to develop your product under the name of Crazy Engineers?
