I like chubbybrain.com

I keep browsing with the hope that someday an awesome idea will strike me and i will make a Google out of it. I had something in my mind about linking a business creator (startup) with a VC and thought there is no such venture. But i came across this one through one of the Linked In profiles "www.chubbybrain.com".

To my surprise it was not just a premature site and had almost 30k startups in its inventory.I really liked the overall way the site was built and how it inspires even normal people to feed their inputs into the site. Start up comparison is a very cool feature that i was impressed with. Let's say if couple of startups like to go public and if you want to invest on one of them, the comparison feature can give you some real insight about the past performances, capital investment, market exposure, profit predictions etc...I am not sure how they do startup certification. I wish i could know what is the process behind it. Unfortunately i don't have one to get certified.


I am not sure about the exposure of this site in the startup arena. May be Silicon valley is but the Indian entrepreneurs should tap on this and try to lure some investments from VCs. For them its all about brilliant ideas and bright business models. If you can justify yours these kind of platforms can be well utilized. I tried even adding one of my friend's startup in this. I am waiting for some feedback to understand how it approves and evaluate a startup.


Certainly this venture was a needed one and my only frustration would be that the ideas that come to me are already in existence. I pity myself!!!

Business- Is it by Skill or by Luck?

I always keep wondering why there is less people who want to start a business and manywho just want to get employed and be happy. Is this a normal human thought process or the social values that the society instills keeps you complacent of what you are? Having said this, i keep looking at everyone's approach silently for their penchant towards business ideas. Many engage in great conversations when you provoke them by telling the fruits of a successful business but hardly they get to the next step of doing anything.

Well, you could ask me, how about you? Unfortunately, i need to accept the fact that i myself has never been a successful entrepreneur. But i keep experimenting with my ideas like many does.

So i keep checking about successful businessmen and their strategies. I found much depends on

• Business starting period
• Kind of Business
• Society in which you live
• Educational background of the consumers
• Economic strength of the country
• Cultural facets

So if some one understands these factors would have made more sensible decisions.
