Blend
cupcakes. muffins. smoothies.
Our idea is called "Blend". It is more than just a coffee shop, more than a bakery, and more than just a smoothie shop. Blend is a modern, yet comfortable cafe type establishment that would provide Lansing with gourmet Cupcakes, Muffins, and Smoothies.
The idea behind the name Blend is that we would essentially be interchanging ingredients among all three of our main products, cupcakes, muffins, and smooth...

My next bright idea for Lansing is The Timshel Project. Timshel is a Hebrew word that translates into "thou mayest." The underlying philosophy of the project is that one of the greatest things about being human is possessing the ability to make a choice, make a difference, and run with a new idea into the unknown.
What the project actually is is an in depth study of the natural areas and ecosystems that occur within the Lansing area. The goals of the project are to gai...

HI MY NAME IS ALEXANDRA CLARK AND MY PLAN IS TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ONE PIECE OF CHOCOLATE AT A TIME.
BY MANIPULATING SUPPLY CHAINS TO BE MORE EFFICIANT I CAN HELP TO ELEVIATE POVERTY ON THE SIDE OF THE COCOA PRODUCER WITHOUT INFLATING PRICES TO THE FINAL CHOCOLATE CONSUMER.
THIS MAY SOUND FAMILIAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HUGELY POPULAR WITHIN THE CHOCOLATE BAR MARKET AS WELL AS WITH OTHER LUXURY FOOD PRODUCTS SUCH AS COFFEE. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER APPLIED IT TO THE A...

MY Next Bright Idea is called Mission Green -Lansing's very first full-service recycling for small- to medium-size businesses, offices and restaurants. Many offices and restaurants do not recycle because there is no recycling program in our area that is designed to cater to businesses's specific needs, especially for the bar/restaurant scene. That's where we come in. We help you set up a recycling program based on your specific needs, including an in-office pick up for ALL mate...

What I would like to do is link all of the existing Halloween events that happen in Lansing together to create a Halloween Extravaganza. Local businesses could work together to create contests, treasure hunts, pumpkin carving etc. I would like to have a warehouse type of space to host a year round Halloween museum and set up a Trilogy of Terror. Three haunted areas Barely Scary for kids, Very Scary – and Let Me Out! At the end of the season, I would like to have an Adult Mons...

Have you ever had an awesome idea you wanted to share with students? Your student organization was throwing a big event, you’re working on an ambitious project, or maybe you’re really passionate about a specific topic and you want to tell others about it? As you’ve probably discovered, it’s not easy spreading information on a campus with over 40,000 students.
And students are missing out because they don’t know. That’s a problem. There are incredible people in and around this campus that ...

The Next Bright Idea is a device that will allow one to literally “wash up” on-the-go: The Portable Shower.

Does it seem like twenty-four hours just aren’t enough anymore?
The onslaught of the twenty-first century brought with it a seemingly-mandated increase in tempo of daily tasks, from early morning rituals such as teeth brushing, hair combing, and breakfast eating (or skipping!) to evening rush hour after a long day’s work.
The much-anticipated Portable Shower i...

Being a student, and trying to start my own company poses certain fundamental challenges that I have become intimately aware of. As graduation approaches and I begin to make certain preparations I have come face to face with a decision I will need to make; do I pursue my business first? or do I look for a conventional wage-earning job first. If I pursue my business first, will it make any money? 1 in 3 startups fail. I have no equity, how will I fund it? If I pursue my business sho...
