This page contains the plans for the future development of [[SolSeed Businesses]].

== Questions ==

* What discipline? (rocketry, power beaming, biotech, water filtration, server farms in space?)
** Can/should we avoid things with direct military applications, in accordance with our values?
* Can it support people with reasonable confidence?
* Win prizes, Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants?
** Venture capital is harder 

== Ideas ==

=== Space catapult/mass driver ===
Pros:
* Significant demand
* Few other people working in this space at present
* Gerard O'Neill supporters might help us

Cons:
* Could be easily weaponized

=== Rockoons ===
Pros:
* Eco-friendly method of space or near-space access

Cons:
* Little market demand (mostly surveillence)
* With JP Aerospace, ARCASPACE in Romania, and some SEDS people working on it, we might not be able to find a niche
