I don't really have a lot of experience, but I too am planning to start a business in the next 2-3 years. I'm nearing the end of my Army service, and will be relocating around the beginning of next year to Southern California, so I plan to take some time to get settled. But after that I would like to start a software and/or consulting type business. I used to run a small computer sales business while I was in college working on my first degree, but it never really made it anywhere. Heck, the market was pretty saturated by then anyway, and I mostly did it for friends and associates who wanted to save a little and have a custom built machine, but didn't know how to do it themselves. This time around I'm looking to hook up with some smart folks with a good range of skills and see what we can accomplish collectively. Sooo... I'd love to discuss some ideas and if anything we might be able to send each other some business in the future.
