Hey Justin, I realized that I had ideas but I could not get them going because I was too busy at the day job. I needed to be able to focus on the idea. I needed money, but loans require proof of concept before getting funding and VC’s want control and are very very selective.
So I said, why not get few people with the same idea and desire to make more money by starting a business and create a structure that allows us to focus on the idea. That’s when CNV was born. I said if we can pool our ideas, money, and expertise and then fund/commission of small team of us to work on the idea FULL TIME (instead when I get home from work), we could get something going.
The more and more I thought and talked to others, we had something big… The more people we had, the larger our funding base could grow. The funding engine grows because we keep our day jobs and leverage those funds to grow our own company. The small group working on the idea get our expertise and does not have to worry about living expense and can focus. We can even start to fund outside ideas once we reach the appropriate size. Anyway, you can see it is working we have nearly 25 members. We are anticipating needing to cap the number of members as some point, but not now… So the more the merrier!

Great site, just checked it out! How did you come up with the idea?
