Donate your brain to cancer research

Well not literally.  I was reading this newsletter about Generation G (for generosity) having just come back from a meeting with Cancer Reasearch UK our partner in the Open Ventures Challenge in which we're trying to start new businesses on line. It seems that we're on trend in asking people to give their time and expertise rather than hard cash.  The next phase of this project is taking some of the 70+ ideas that you can see here   to market and for that we need professionals in all walks of life to help with business planning, marketing, web development,  the law etc. I am happy to report that big business is already engaged in this with GSK, Oracle and Microsoft holding innovation days for this initiative.  I hope we'll be able to appeal to small business too.
