TrialIPO is an upcoming company that will let you simulate having your Internet company go public. The site will not launch until the onset of next year.
There are really two ways in which TrialIPO can be used: for business owners looking to test the virtual market, and for individuals wanting to be involved from the investor's standpoint. If you have a company and you're thinking of taking it public, you could try it out for a two-year time period (or a time period of your choosing) and see how it goes. The individuals in the TrialIPO community get $5 million in virtual money to play around with, so if they like you're site, they'll invest in it and you make money. Participating individuals can also rate and review companies on TrialIPO, and see if their judgment calls could hold water.
