Please do not try to "cook up" small start ups. It's better people juice their own ingenuity on their own time, when they have something big at stake.

I grew up in a communist country and I remember how the state gave allowances to housewives in order to invigorate women's businesses. It didn't turn out that well; most women, like most men, are not interested in the ungodly effort and the labor of love that goes into enterprising.

[Edit: specifically, there came up a cottage industry of document fixers who could get you bankruptcy documents so you get to keep the federal investment AND get compensation. People looted the fund.]
