I love what New Orleans is doing with the Be NOLA Bound program!
It seems like a great way to raise the visibility of what is happening in New Orleans’ growing economy as well as to help New Orleans entrepreneurs to be more connected to like-minded communities around the country.

I have an idea I would like to throw out there. I think it would be a fun side-project or StartupWeekend project. Granted, it is a feature, not a product (and definitely not a company), but I think there are some verticals that would find it very useful.
IndexCloud Elevator Pitch:
IndexCloud scans a piece of content (say, a semester’s worth of chapters in a text book) and identifies the key topics (not just words). It then creates a clickable “tag cloud” of the topics. When a user clicks on a topic, IndexCloud presents them with links and passages to that topic in the content. IndexCloud would be used by students studying for exams or doing research, publishers looking to give readers a new way to explore their publication (think magazine issues on a tablet), and even large corporations doing analysis on their customer service interactions.
The dotcom is owned by a squatter.
I am not doing any side projects since all my time goes to Bizen, but I think this would be a fun one and I would love to see someone do it.
