Check out Mozilla Hatchery at https://blog.mozilla.org/labs/2013/04/announcing-mozilla-hat...

It may be what you're looking for.

PS: I am a Mozilla Rep.

If it's Good for the Web, I at least am happy to chat, give advice, mentor, to the extent that I have free time. I do that on a regular basis for local companies, but that's just because it's more convenient. I expect many Mozilla folks do the same.

(and if it's a thing that should/could be a Mozilla consumer product someday, then yes, check out the Hatchery, that's a more structured program w/ a bunch of coaches).

To me, it seems that question is answered pretty clearly in the "What" on their homepage:

A 3-month hands-on accelerator designed to help entrepreneurs from around the globe build healthy businesses.

(with "build healthy businesses" in bold)

I'm in a similar boat. I have a few things like that where I think the best thing for it would be to get it where to the point where a bunch of people would fork it and make their own cool things.

I don't want to be in business, I want to make cool stuff.
