Ask HN: Someone in the bay area experienced in retail/eccommerce for advice

I am looking for someone who can give me advice about my idea. I am an engineer in the bay area, however my idea is in the intersection of ecommerce and traditional brick and mortar retail. I know next to nothing about retail and ecommerce, and so I don't know if my idea has any wings.

Would be extremely grateful if anyone could either make contact with me, or point me to someone who could help me out.

Thank you in advance HN.
