Participated in the competition. He defended the project "Open accounting system" in Nizhny Novgorod. I naively believed that there was a chance for a "project from the street." Not looking for any inputs and outputs. Result.

I begin to explain how we plan to make money on the project. In response, I hear reproachful: “So here you are! First, you distribute a free program, and then all for money !!! ”
It feels like I got to a party meeting. No matter how the meeting on the discussion of the business plan, business model.
In general, the face of limping the implementation of the correct idea of financing a small investment business.
Experts do not cope with the selection and, apparently, consider the best solution in this situation not to take projects, which is called "from the street", but to give preference to projects received through proven channels from proven hands.
Of course you can understand it. But that's another story.
