How do I get my Startup funded? Why won’t a venture capitalists set an appointment and just hear my idea? Is my concept and the business model really worth it to attract the investors? All these questions sound similar, especially to the Entrepreneur and founders’ community. Getting funds is perhaps the toughest task and I would personally want a channel or a platform where I can pitch my startup, post a video explaining the concept and make it readily discoverable. VentureSocially is the startup promising to assist you on your venture adventure [wow that rhymes pretty well].

I was beginning to associate virtual credits or currency with Facebook games alone. Yeah the likes of Farmville, Mafia Wars always had people sending their virtual credits on absolutely useless things like cats and cows. Gladly a couple in Sweden thought of putting some sense at spending this virtual currency and brought us a Web startup, Gigapie.
The startup acts like your stock exchange to a certain extent showcasing around two dozen of the top Web Companies out there including Google, Facebook, Amazon, FourSquare, Twitter, etc. So if buying Facebook or Google had been an impossible thing for you, change your thoughts for Gigapie is giving you 100 credits on signing up and an option to buy any firm that’s affordable. And let me clarify, it’s the entire company you are buying and not stocks or shares.

In my last post, I advised startups that they don’t necessarily need to hire an attorney (and pay those retainer fees and hourly rates) when it comes time to forming a Corporation or an LLC. After all, during the startup phase, you’ve got to spend money wisely — and you might be better served investing that money back into your business, rather than paying for an attorney.

There are many folks out there who love to write diaries about each and every day of their lives. Serves good when it comes to reflecting on the past but I personally find the pen and paper bit a bit hard to go through. Secondly, your diary might mean everything to you or someone close, but to a stranger its just loads barely readable text crawling through a page. In short, it isn’t really interesting. Enter Daileez, a startup that promises to make your diary more appealing [and more convenient for others to absorb].

The first thing that comes in my mind when I think of buying a product is finding the cheapest deal out there. You might call me a miser but everyone has a right to save some bucks, which is why bidding sites are always in demand. You might already be having loads of destinations promising you the best deals but BidHere appears interesting by all means.
BidHere is a startup focused at giving online shoppers a pay per bid auction site. You can purchase bids as credits and the site offers a wide variety of products for everyone, be it a DSLR Camera, a MacBook Air or a set of software, you name it BidHere has it. The idea is to ensure that each bidder or shopper gets the product for the cheapest price, often getting it for a whopping 90 percent off the retail price. The bids cost you $0.60 per bid and every new user gets 5 bids for free, the site is all about your convenience, letting you place bids directly on the BidHere website or simply sending a text message. Each bid placed raises the price of the product by a mere 2 cents with each bid having a duration of 2 minutes. So if you are the last one who bid for a MacBook Air at the end of 2 minutes, you are the one who gets the product for whatever the last price is [it can be as low as $100!].

I know many food lovers who aspire to be cooks, the only thing stopping them is finding the right recipes at the right places. I guess the same goes for culinary experts, who have loads of recipes but have no clue how and where to share these. There are quite a few sites to do so but lets stick to the startup, Cooklet.
Cooklet is a platform for culinary experts to socialize and more importantly organize their recipes at one place in neat cookbooks. The reason? Well I bet someone’s mom has loads of recipes in the kitchen closet and it is impossible for anyone, even her times to find the one for the best dish. So what you can do is place them all in a neat space on Cooklet so they are easier to find and others are able to benefit.

I bet many of us still use the Notepad that comes loaded with our Microsoft Windows, don’t you? I state that because I have seen many developers use that to write codes because it doesn’t pollute the text area with grammar and spellings, which is pretty annoying. But since everything is moving to the clouds. why not the notepad? This is the same reason why Wrttn.me comes in, with a little bit of extra features.
The best thing this startup gives a user is that you can design your own notepad, it isn’t about simply typing in text. Wrttn lets you create custom CSS Styles as well as incorporate marking types like HTML5 or Markdown, etc. Or it can be just your simple text. I was just exploring Wrttn and figured out it can actually help you in a lot of ways, primarily for those aspiring bloggers and writers who are still confused on what platform to use for blogging? I wont actually call it a platform, but you can definitely use it for the purpose of sharing your thoughts, writings, even videos to share with the online community with Wrttn. The links for these note can be easily placed across social networks and recommendation engines like Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, etc.

Have a group that shares a similar interest? Rally them in and make a social network, I am not trying to pull down anyone but it’s interesting to how everyone is trying to bring groups together. The latest in the arena is StirTheMix, a social network dedicated to those who love drinks, of any sort.
So what is is about? The network lets you discover and share drinks, be it beer, wine, spirits, etc. You name it they have it and all you liquor enthusiasts will find it interesting to discover the various types of drinks across the globe/ Each drink is given a title deed which can be treated as a bottle label. You can also share messages and connect with others sharing your passion, something which you do on Twitter, etc. On the site itself you can see the trending topics, find a drink on the social network, take quizzes and better still view photographs of numerous brands posted by members of the network.
