Ideas are not just cheap, the huge majority of them are actually bad. Most ideas are actually not worth the time to consider them.
If you want a repository for good ideas, I think first you need to find a way to filter the bad ones.

I have no solution for this other then focusing on the following things:
- How detailed the idea is. The mere fact that someone took the time to think about it and write it down (1-2 page at least) is a good first filter that throws out things such as "It's like tinder but for job search".
- Limiting it to "technical" people who has experience with actual execution of ideas and instinctively point out problemsBeing successful at business is a different skillset than having good technical ideas. The best idea in the world won't build you a sales force magically nor will it put into place a manufacturing chain for you.
But if you can consistently predict whether an idea is "good", by definition you should be either hitting it out of the park consistently or getting massive returns on investments.
