These points are collected from different articles posted on Mashable, TechCrunch, etc. and after reading different articles I am coming up with one common repository.

Entrepreneurs planning to start and work on new ideas shall focus on few key points described below: 

Tips for Startups:
1) As an Entrepreneur you should not think my friends is starting a company shall I also start my company? I don’t have any work other work to do shall I start my company? What should I start so that I become billionaire in few months? Things just don’t happen in few days. You can’t become a billionaire in a minute. If you think you will have profits then you have to consider the loss factor also. Think about something that fascinates you. Come you with the idea, Plan and the vision. 

2) Focus on the idea: Come one with the idea and focus on the idea. The idea should give you the answer for “Why will the people use this product?” If you are coming up with the common idea than ask yourself “Why will the people use your products if N number of products are in the market?” Google, Facebook, Twitter didn’t exactly started with a food of plate ready. 

3) Discuss the idea, issues, and scope: Discuss the idea with the entrepreneurs with whom you are working with. Form the team that will support the product until success. Discuss the scope of the idea. Try to come up with the solution approach for it. Ask the team that why the customer will be interested in our product. How will it benefit to the customer purchasing the product. How can we give customer support after launching the products? Don’t neglect the service that will be given to customer after the product is live. 

4) Meetings: Try to organize meeting with the team everyday. Team should be open to discuss all the key points. Try to follow SCRUM methodology. Discuss the issue which can come in future and come up with the approach everyday. Divide the project into sprints and come up with the progress of the project and future plans.

Here are the websites that can help Entrepreneurs to track down the appropriate entrepreneurs: 

1) OnStartups: An online community and blog for startup entrepreneurs
This site is a perfect place to crowdsource all of your small business questions. After you post a question, anyone can post an answer. You and other users can vote the different responses up or down so that the best answer floats to the top — at which point, if you decide to, you can mark one response as the “accepted answer.” 

2) Focus: Business Expertise for Everyone 
Focus differs from other Q&A sites by maintaining a core group of experts who answer many of the questions on the site in exchange for the opportunity to promote themselves. This feature makes it more likely that you’ll receive prompt and useful responses. 

3) MicroMentor:
MicroMentor is a free online service that connects small business owners with business mentors. MicroMentor offers business professionals meaningful volunteer opportunities and offers entrepreneurs one-on-one advice and business mentoring to help their business succeed. Be a mentor, find a mentor, and build a business. 

4) Entrepreneur Connect: 
Entrepreneur Connect is the social network where small-business owners can create a profile, explore the community, share ideas and make connections. 

5) PartnerUp: 
Find business partners, opportunities to get involved in businesses, commercial real estate and resources to make your company or idea a success. 

6) EFactor: 
The authors of business networking book The N Factor venture up the alphabet a little bit to bring you the EFactor. This social network for entrepreneurs can help you answer your questions in a handful of different ways. 

7) MeetTheBoss TV: 
This site gives you the opportunity for personal access to the world’s most innovative and influential business leaders. Although the rest of us probably won’t be able to get our questions for business leaders answered directly, there’s likely a video on MeetTheBoss TV that is relevant to your issue. 

8 ) SCORE.org: 
A resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration, SCORE gives free advice to entrepreneurs. 

9) LinkedIn Answers: 
What sets LinkedIn Answers apart from the others on this list is that people have a couple of strong motives to help you. First, people are always looking for ways to stay in touch with members of their professional networks. Answering your question is a perfect opportunity to refresh a connection. Second, people who give the best answers to questions are featured as “experts” on the Answers homepage and in each category of questions.
