Why post this on HN ? We are mostly programmers , techies or in tech business and s/w is not difficult for us. Why not advertize/post this on Business magazines or trade publications for Dentists , Doctors , Plumbers and such ?

Surely the idea of a one-off crowd sourced mini incubator is at least a little interesting to someone who writes|plans|sells software.

Immediate reactions from me include "Should my company get on board with something like this?", "I wonder what the equity split is like", "Could there be a platform for voting up ideas to work on based on customer validation?", "Should I build that platform to bubble up ideas with a verifiable userbase?"

Why not advertise on both? People at HN have already asked some great questions and even offered helpful insights, and we appreciate that.
You are right; my post was not phrased well. What I meant was that Dentists, Doctors and Trades people etc. would appreciate this offer as well or even more. And to publicize this offer to them, you may have to advertize in their publications.The downside is that the cycle would be much longer.
