Hello!

Never eat alone …

Is the mantra behind the national best selling book Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time.

It also happens to be the premise behind our Golden Axe Tournament champion’s idea:

It’s Just Lunch for Networking from techguy.

Congratulations techguy!

techguy is no stranger to the IdeaWarz tournament. Last month his Spoil My Spouse made it to the finals, and here he is back again only a month later finishing up where he left off.

When we asked techguy how he came up with the idea lunch for networking he said:

“The inspiration for this idea mostly came from the blog post I read about Never Eating Alone. Networking over lunch is something I’ve been enjoying recently. It’s Just Lunch seemed like the perfect way to market this idea.”

techguy was also kind enough to share his tips on how members can position or describe their ideas:

“When describing the idea, I think it’s important to get plenty of feedback from other people so you can address potential issues in the description. Keep it simple so that everyone can understand how it works and see a clear source of revenue.”

Hailing from Las Vegas Nevada, techguy enjoys spending time with his wife, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and learning all things technical He is also a great community member, prolific forum poster, and very supportive of other people’s ideas.

We are super happy for techguy, and also want to congratulate our other very deserving finalist PsychSplash. His idea, Spot-Light-Special, did an amazing job of lasting as long as it did in the tournament, and advancing all the way to the finals. PsychSplash is also a prolific ideas guy with over 39 ideas contributed to date.

As tournament champion, Christmas comes early for techguy. Besides the heaps of treasure, prizes, and glory that comes with winning the tournament, he also gets a professionally executed Market Test (courtesy of Cambrian House), a $50 ThinkGeek gift certificate, and a stunning Jessye Cook designed IdeaWarz tournament t-shirt.

If all goes well in the Market Test, techguy’s idea will be commercialized into a product branch with it’s own development, marketing and sales team.

So there you have it folks. Congrats again techguy and all the best to our future contestants.

May the best idea win.
