I looked at the 2011 finalists and I reviewed the ideas that where presented. Of the six finalists I can say only one seemed even remotely worth winning. The collage magazine for women seemed a little weak as did the online custom clothing store. There are enough of those kinds of things around if you know where to look and the magazine just seems a little lack luster. The company looking to improve LED lighting is alright I guess but do we really need to fund a new company to improve LED lighting? why dont they just go get a job at an LED manufacturing company and present their ideas to them.
Cascade lasers and applications, sounds fun but I do not see the benifit right now atleast not when compared to the company I am building up to. Decompression vests for autistic children. Seems legit but not really a game changer. People have been working with autistic chiildren for years and in my own personal experience with them I can say a special vest is not going to help things in that front. What sets off autistic children is things that interupt their routine, throw a new peice of clothing into the mix that is not part of their ordinery array and you are looking fit city. Saw it happen alot when we had to put autistic children in their saftey harnesses for transport on the sped. bus. If it was not "Their" harness it turned into a fight.
Those fiv aside I think the renewable jetfule is the way to go, that would be the one I would back as a business. First it is a renweable source of fule which always has its advantages. It could even lead to more breakthroughs in renewable fule for cars, trucks, boats and all other forms of transportation. Second it is jet fule, the single most expencive fule to obtain and produce. This would lower the cost of airline travel which would bring them an influx of business in the process.
Renweable, that is perhapps the best
