Thank you a lot for taking the time to write this, you have no idea how helpful it is - if I could upvote more than one time I would!

is there a way that I can PM you? you seem to have similar questions as I do...

In what ways would it differs from, let's say, Quora?

Thank you for answering : ) I will try to clarify what I was first aiming at when I asked HN...

1. Let's put it that way, with a completely made-up example. Suppose that I am an engineer (of whatever field you prefer) with some amount of money, an appetite for learning and after 5-10 years of working, I have failed to find a suitable business opportunity. I could go around and ask every business I know about problems that they have, but I would like to find a way to make this faster - to gain knowledge about relevant problems in an efficient way. What should I do?

2. Well that is a problem ; ) Would there be a way to bring more problems to light, then? To solve more of them? What prevents people from sharing these problems?

Have you thought about a way to gather the data entered by users?

Thank you for taking the time to answer - I had not heard of bohnanza! : )

Thanks for answering : ) They aren't my kids, but the one whose anniversary is up and coming is going to turn 6.
