I think such an idea would be very useful, but with any such idea it is open to be abused. However, with an appropriate community behind it (this being a good example) and good implementation, I can see it working.

What concerns me is startups which wish to run in Stealth, how could someone give advice if they need to be in the "inner circle" to provide help and guidance? (Presuming a VC isn't used).
