Via Marc Dangeard:

“I need your help raising the attention on an idea I have submitted on Change.org:

As you may know, I am currently working on the Entrepreneur Commons, trying to foster collaboration between entrepreneurs as way to create an inclusive selection process for funding, rather than the competitive models that we currently have with VCs or Angels.

On his site Change.gov, the Obama team announces that they want to setup a network of incubators to help entrepreneurs, and I am hoping the organization of such a network will not be left to government employees or to consultants that would live off government money. Thus the idea submitted on Change.org, of an Entrepreneur Commons or equivalent organization to manage entrepreneurs collaboration within this network of incubator.

The top 10 ideas submitted will be presented to the Obama administration on the day of the inauguration, hopefully this one can make it there. Please vote and please forward to your friends if you like the idea:”
