'Entrepreneur powered YC clone'---an apt description! A possible interesting investment option would be instead of investing $$$, startup owner can swap 'shares' in their startups. E.g., I have a startup in security but I love somebody's music startup and vice versa, so share-swap can be done. Details that need to be ironed out include trust, valuation of shares, accountability (how do we know that the person we swapped shares would continue to work hard), etc.



Share swaps are a killer idea man. This is going on a bit of an extended tangent - but the vision hints at being a sort of micro-stock exchange for startup entrepreneurs. Neat concept.
