One of the things that i find strange and sometimes annoys me about HN is that every idea needs to be a startup... Why? Your idea could also become a collective or a non-profit the very least...

My plan was non-profit, corporate sponsorship, plus voluntarily member donations. Used the term 'startup' just because it's short for 'big complex IT project based on some assumptions'.
Besides my own issues, I simply found too many holes in my original idea — where this idyllic utopia could go wrong.
I still keep the idea on the heap — currently evaluating an idea of professionally supervised chat groups. But I'd be glad if someone steals the idea before I find every way it could lead to the extinction of koalas and collapse of the Hilbert space.

Could you please elaborate more on the business idea that you have if you don't mind?

I completely agree that there are many options outside of startups, even for business ventures, and I wish this were discussed more.
However, this is a forum associated with a startup funding institution, so it's not that strange to me there would be that bias here.
