Who's Starting A Start-Up In 2012?

Just wondering whether we have engineers who're planning to start their own full-time or part-time venture in 2012. It could just a part-time activity that you want to turn into a part-time business or giving up your job/campus placement to start a startup. We'd like to know about you and your plans. If you're facing problems, share them with us and we promise to try our best to solve them.

    I am.
    I have been trying to work out my plan since a long time. Then recently when I finally decided to get started, I found my idea is stolen.
    Oops! No.
    I just realized 'ideas are no one's monopoly'.
    But I'm still determined to do this.
    Case Study is on.

    Can't tell much about my (secret) venture. 😉
    But I can say this much; it is something that I am combining my talent (dance) and my study (CS) together which will be helpful to the Dancers.

    Okay, no need to mention your ideas if you don't want to. But it feels good that we've budding entrepreneurs on CE. Speaking of ideas - they never are 'original'. Google is, if you say, actually a 'reworked' Alta-Vista or Yahoo. Apple iPad was actually just a redesign of existing touch-screen computers and so on.

    It's the execution that matters. Not the idea itself.

    Good to know that. If we build multiple quality discussions in this section about entrepreneurship; I promise to get the experts to guide our CEans - right from providing mentorship to finance.

    Yes, that would be great and very helpful.

    Like myself, was a little skeptical about my plan in the initial stage; but started to do the case study and also preparing an excel sheet for a small survey among my friend circle.

    I'll ask founder of NurtureTalent to help the CEans who'd be interested in starting. Let's see what he says.
