    Wisely using grant money to start your first company

    Dunno what you can start, but if it's "free" money, I'd use it on marketing and/or self improvement. Something that gives you a direct ROI. Buying inventory does not. And neither does paying a developer to build an app, for example.

    an end to the college student loan fiasco?

    No need to poke holes. I agree with your original post. The hole you're looking for isn't in the idea. It's that neither you or I are going to make that happen. No amount of protesting, writing your congressman, or any shoulds and coulds, is going to change it. The way you knock down...

    I used to play MMOs 12 hours a day and waned off. Now I'm at 2-3 hours a week. This one was a slow burn. Replacing it with reading and working out. When I felt the urge to play, I did. It wasn't forced and every week it was 20 minutes less here, and 30 minutes less there. Mind you, I was...

    How does doing it directly from your business play out? In the US, you can get gov't and private grants to kickstart your projects. Then procure donations from companies with a PR + tax incentive, for them. (As a 501c3 Nonprofit Corporation)

    One of my clients is part of a club that has access to these higher ups. She sells to them on a regular basis, then tacks on upsells/crossells from 3rd parties. It's a couple of thousand USD, depending on the agreement. 1. She's putting her reputation on the line vouching for you 2. She...

    I can manufacture jeans/denim clothes better and cheaper than most. How can I sell LOADS?

    I know someone who can get you a prepped line to a decision maker in a Levis, or similar, in the US, if your story checks out. Would you be able to take it from there? The introduction is not gonna be cheap though.
