You should share this over at /r/entrepreneur and /r/startups
I do like the idea of having to give out ideas in order to receive them. Seems everyone wants to ask for help but rarely turns around and provides it (speaking about message boards, reddit subs, etc not life in general).
@tribaling I am active on both of those. Right now might not be a bad time for you to post here https://www.reddit.com/r/startup... I'll be happy to share about it on /r/entrepreneur
@natelegler Thanks for the ideas! These are great - and what Swap Ideas is all about! We are really excited that people have grasped the genesis of the idea from the very start and are excited about collaboration and co-creation as means to elevate the entrepreneurial community!
Swap Ideas was created by the Idea Hunt community to help the growing number of entrepreneurs that face challenges alone, and don’t have the big budgets to hire consultants. The service is free, and based on a simple principle: give ideas to receive them. Upon signing up we will matchmake you with 5 other entrepreneurs that want feedback on their business models, landing pages and/or user acquisition. The idea exchange will take place on Idea Hunt.
If you’re happy with the ideas and feedback you receive from other idea swappers, we encourage you to write a LinkedIn recommendation as a note of thanks.
We’re really happy to share this community project with Product Hunt, and look forward to swapping ideas with you!
@tribaling Great work Elia & rest of the team! I really like Idea Hunt in and of itself, but to sign up to swap ideas with other entrepreneurs really takes it to the next level. This must be the definition of win-win, an opportunity to help others, as well as receiving outside perspectives for your own project.
It's an interesting way of creating stronger connections and networks online, one-to-one with other entrepreneurs. Also, your encouragement to write LinkedIn recommendations as a thanks is just brilliant!
@thisisgustav@tribaling Gustav, that's just it - to be able to exchange ideas with people who are in similar stages, crucial stages of building startups and businesses and constructively collaborate to solve challenges - it's incredible!
@piersteinn we're so glad to hear that you like the idea! We want to keep the community free so that it can serve as a resource to entrepreneurs who need it. Idea Hunt has and will be adding additional paid services and products in the future. We plan to filter out the people who don't contribute and in a second round match only the people that contributed previously. This means that the longer you stay, the more quality the exchanges you receive.

@tribaling once again great job! Idea Hunt is an amazing community, and keeps delivering great things every time they are challenged with ideas and feedback!
Great idea and corresponding product!
This is something that entrepreneurs can use and benefit greatly from in many ways!
Having access to great minds through your product and associated services is really attractive.
The value of ideas can resonate tremendously for a startup!...
Users from varying fields of expertise all bring unique experience to base their ideas off of!
Fresh perspectives are so critical for startups... I can't stress this enough!
I am really excited to join (if you can't tell)! :)
Best regards!
JB.
@tribaling Great job Elia. This is a great community based idea swap and feedback network. I instantly loved it, when i got an invitation from Elia few weeks ago. I am planning to leverage this network for my upcoming project. I definitely recommend it.

@tribaling This is a great idea. I know having an outside perspective on an idea or problem is always helpful, and can make a huge difference - especially when you're stuck. I particularly like that the model is collaborative instead of a "pick your brain" scenario. That's a good thing!
