pairIncubator accepting applications

pairIncubator is a world-class, Web-based start-up incubation company developed by pair Networks, a global Internet services company (http://www.pair.com). We have over a decade of experience in hosting and developing Web-based technology and are now actively seeking out the best and brightest ideas that will transform the Internet as we know it. I'm not endorsing their program, just letting you know it exists. Do your own research. In particular, be certain to protect any confidential intellectual property prior to disclosure. If your idea is selected, pairIncubator will:

• Set up the legal business entity
• Get you started with hardware and workspace
• Guide you through the development of your concept
• Help you find venture capital (if your concept is good enough)

Of course, you have to live in Pittsburgh, PA during the twelve week session.
