(OOC: I realize most of the applications would be by NPCs reviewed by other NPCs the mini-capital firm would hire, that would have a certain kind of background. Most applications would be approved or rejected according a general policy that the PCs running the firm would set. Very large applications or PC applications would be marked for management review, so the you or O'Floinn could decide. My character's concern wasn't an OOC one about whether it would get enough applications, or how mods would write enough and the management would process those. It was an IC concern about whether the salary of a competent application reviewer could be covered by by profits on such deals. That is why normal venture capital starts with larger deals.)
I have read about entreprenuerial clubs elsewhere, where prospective business starters would meet, get some tips on putting together business plans, dealing with the bureaucracy to set up a business, etc. Elsewhere, there are business incubators, that provide much of the infrastructure, like payroll, accounting, conference rooms available by appointment, shared receptionists, etc. Would either of these fit into your model, the clubs as a feeder system, or the incubator as a way of setting your service apart from the ordinary?
