New goals for a new year

It’s a new year, and whether we make hard-and-fast resolutions or more squishy wouldn’t-it-be-great goals, most of us can’t avoid imagining what 2013 will bring.

But let’s set aside the perennial eat-less-move-more ambitions for something with a little more entrepreneurial flair: What problems are you going to solve this year, and how can Indianapolis’ startup community support your aspirations?

Share your plans for the year here—and keep us all posted on your progress. There’s nothing as inspiring as success.

    At Snappening.com, we hope to continue our growth and development in 2013 in the areas of new service lines (photographers) and new cities (expanding across Indiana and into Kentucky, Ohio, etc) We hope Indy continues to provide tech resources and talent to make that possible.

    LumenCache is a new lighting solution that takes advantage of the benefits of LEDs without the baggage and problems associated with supporting the 100-yr old AC power grid. View the 2-minute video at www.lumencache.com. We're ending our 12-month Angel round in February and beginning the $2MM Round A. Doing a tech startup in Indy is VERY challenging. We may keep the production jobs here but far more interest and help from outside Indy.

    I'm no entrepreneur, but I post this in hopes that someone who is will realize the time is right for a truck(s) that drives the street, a la ice cream trucks, with fresh coffee and pastries. Could extend the revenue-producing hours for an already-existing food truck? Hundreds of thousands of caffeine addicts eagerly await this innovation.

    My 2013 is to leave Indy for a city where people are a little more secure with themselves and their community. The incessant, childish boosterism here, along with the call for the taxpayer to fund these money-losing schemes so that a small majority of us can feel big league, is wearing thin. Indy used to be a unique city. We've lost a great deal trying to be something we're not. I've identified my new home, a city of similar size with core jobs, you know, the kind that actually create something instead of merely siphon money from the taxpayer to quasi-governmental "companies" that add no value at all.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
