JumpStartFund - Ideas Powered by the Crowd

JumpStartFund - Ideas Powered by the Crowd www.JumpStartFund.com uses the power of the crowd to transform patents and ideas into successful companies.

Since the beginning of 2002, the co-founders of JumpstartFund have been operating incubators (accelerators) for early-stage high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley and Los Angeles' South Bay. Over the years, we have watched our hardworking startups struggle to find the next round of funding to support the growth of their companies. As serial entrepreneurs ourselves, we know from experience how d

ifficult this struggle can be. We also learned that there are a large number of smaller investors who see the potential of such companies and their entrepreneurial owners, but we had no effective and efficient channel through which to connect them because of the regulations for controlling transactions related to securities. When the Jobs Acts of 2012 was signed into law authorizing the needed changes in those regulations, we undertook the creation of the JumpStartFund platform to provide this channel. We seek funds (crowdfunding) as well as ideas and opinions (crowdsourcing) from the crowd of internet users. We apply these resources from the crowd to foster and facilitate the development and growth of entrepreneurial activities, especially start-up companies. We have created a secure, user-friendly internet funding portal to provide the channel to connect companies seeking capital (or loans) with investors (or lenders) in the crowd. We facilitate the efficient exchange of equity (share of stock) in a company for capital or loans to the company for dept (various kinds of notes payable)

Bike Bottle Makes Water from Thin Air as You Cycle
http://goo.gl/tpaEOM
Using air flow and solar energy, this ingenious device creates up to 16 ounces (a half-liter) per hour of drinkable water via condensation as you ride, quenching your thirst just when and where you need it most: while cycling hard in hot and humid climates.
The gadget itself attaches to the frames of bicycles and contains a slot where a standard-sized disposable water bottle can be attached, filled and detached when needed. Retezár experimented with various materials, systems and processes to make a working prototype in his own bathroom, testing under various temperatures and humidity conditions.

Fontus is a self-filling water bottle for your bicycle. This device collects the moisture contained in the air, condenses it and stores it as safe drinking water. Powered by solar cells, it can harvest up to 0,5 l water in an hour´s time under the right climatic conditions.
