There's a new community for young entrepreneurs on the internet and I first found them when they found me.

In the first post of his Mind Petals: Infinite Ideas to Bloom blog on June 4, founder David Askaripour explains:

I created Mind Petals as a way to connect entrepreneur bloggers across the internet - aggregating the best content under a network where people from all over the world can come and learn about the world of entrepreneurism, directly from the entrepreneurs making things happen with their lives.

A mission statement further clarifies:

Mind Petals is more than the young Entrepreneur's Network, it's a community that produces informative, inspiring, and motivating content for all entrepreneurs - especially the ones really making things happen, not just talking.

Actually to be quite technical, Mind Petals isn't any newer than our own little endeavor here which saw its first post June 9 and an official launch some time later.

But the community is growing with an expanding roster of member bloggers, an advisory board of young entrepreneurs including Dan Marques, whose observations we have featured before here at BootstrapMe, and an exciting new e-book project.

And before you older entrepreneurs and bootstrappers are put off by the youth focus of this group, check out this more recent Askaripour post and you'll realize this community is not only for the young, but also for the young at heart.

Thanks for the support, Shawn. Much appreciated. Mind Petals is a community that is trying to help as many entrepreneurs as possible, just like what you are doing with Bootstrapme. Networks like ours are really going a long way when it comes to spreading entrepreneurship and opening minds to take risks. Keep up the great work. Rock on!
