Every now and then some posting on social media will lead to my brain developing an interesting idea. I just might be the equivalent of Bill Moyer’s World of Ideas. Okay enough joking, I saw on a sub-Reddit posting about a company called Jobber giving away grants of money for start-up businesses so I applied. During the application process, I actually got an idea to start a non-profit business geared towards disabled entrepreneurs assisting them with business technology.
I was thinking if I could get some donations of older PCs, monitors, and keyboards, I could help get disabled and disadvantaged business owners started for free. Maybe I could work with my state’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation as a vendor. I could assist with the filing of the paperwork to create the LLC or just sub-contract that out to Northwest Registered Agents. Make it a whole service. I don’t know
My gears are really turning here. The only problem is that a non-profit is a lot of work. Well, I could make the suggestion to an existing non-profit and see how that goes. That’s an option as well. The existing non-profit could sub the labor out to me and mark it up accordingly. The non-profit I am thinking of already has a contract with the my state’s Vocational Rehabilitation.
It makes me feel good to have these ideas and to continue thinking like an entrepreneur. If I struck it out on my own, I’d have to see about getting my own contract with Vocational Rehabilitation and maybe a membership with the Chamber of Commerce so I could network. I don’t even know what the demand for this would be.
It would be interesting to see how this could work. I’ll have to have some discussions with some folks within my network to look at the feasibility of this. Time will tell.
