I'm looking for start-up advice!

I've got some seed money and a social media analytics focus. What would you do with mid five figures? Also, you're not a developer - yet. Anyone out there with strong opinions?

I'd take a list of 3-10 ideas and sort them based on different criteria, like "estimated cost", "my knowledge of the field", "potential for profit", "intellectual engagement", etc.

Out of that, a few ideas will bubble to the surface. Start talking with people about those ideas. Dig a little deeper into the numbers and assumptions behind them. Find a cofounder (most difficult part). Design an MVP and do Steve Blank's Customer Development process.

I'm not clear, are you asking for startup advice, or are you offering it?

oops - asking. Just fixed the title.
