Title: Pitch your investment ideas to KSC!
Post by: The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep on April 30, 2013, 08:29:40 AM
As many of you already know, I graduated from business school from KSU in 2006. I loved it so much I went on to get my MBA and eventually a PhD in management. Long story short, I was watching the show "Shark Tank" (love that show!) and thought I could use my expertise to help some of you get kick started in the small business world.

Now, unlike "Shark Tank" I will not try to screw you over and since there is only one "shark" here (that I know of) I will only be providing advice, unless you want to use some of the small fortune I have since saved to go into business together. Anyways, that's a long way down the road. For now, just pitch me your idea (I don't need to hear numbers right now) and I'll let you know if I think it's a good one!

Can I join the shark tank?  I'm on the board of a small technology company.

Buy drugs in bulk, sell on the street, make tons of profit. I've watched The Wire 3 times through so I think I know what I'm doing

Here's my idea, I start a business posing as an investment and business expert, and people pitch me their ideas so I can vet them, then I sell their ideas to IP trolling firms.

I'm concerned about the market here. Most people enjoy saying they take good care of their lawn. What about crab grass and weeds and such? If you're going to be out spraying your lawn you might as well mow it. Are there any environmental implications?

I'm going to need more information before I can definitely say it is a good/bad idea, Sabi, but I like where your heads at.

Business wise, buying in bulk is a good idea. But as your friend, ERII, I'm a little concerned for your health and safety. Might take it to steve dave's life advice thread?

I don't think you understand intellectual property rights as well as I (many years of business school and experience) do.

As the most prominent businessman on this board, I'm telling you becoming my rival is not a good idea. Small tech companies are like, way below me.

Run along now...

I said no maintenance necessary.  Using genetic modification I have invented a new species of graminoid that literally just cuts itself in half every 5 days.  Great for the environment.  Also it is impervious to all kinds of weeds and mutations*





*Although one time during testing my hand turned bluish green and I grew a 3rd thumb out of my left wrist.  But that's a story for another day.

Well, if you can get the EPA to get on board, send me a PM and we'll go into business together. I love this idea.

With a subsidiary that photographs pissed off/sad/giant swooping bald eagles and sells the images.

I am working on a method to make a bald eagle cry on cue.

I would have to try them, puni. Look up my address and mail me a few bags (small ones so I can keep freshness and give to other people for sampling)

Might be more of an overseas market but I like how you are thinking big picture here, Limestone. Have you ever thought about becoming a business magnate like myself or Mark Cuban?

Remind me again how I would invest in this idea? Cuz I went to school for a long time to become a super rich expert and don't have time for small modifications to an already delicious and successful restaraunt.

This needed to have a patent YEARS ago, Dlew. Do you need my help? I can talk to my patent guy.
