A group of young investors have taken an uncoventional approach towards their newest business venture.  

The group has launched WhatDCNeeds, a website specifically devoted to receiving suggestions from D.C. residents for what the new business should be.

Users can log onto the site and have their opinion be heard.

We asked some D.C. residents what kind of business they think the entrepreneurs should invest in.  

Check out the video above to see what they had to say; some of the answers might surprise you.

What do you think D.C. needs?  Sound off in the comments section below.

With entrepreneurs around the country working diligently to bring creative approaches to all types of industries and to improve the economy, it's heartening to find a company celebrating 50 years in business. This past March marked the 50-year anniversary of Case Design/Remodeling, Inc. as a DC Metro area full service residential remodeling organization with offices in Bethesda, Maryland and Falls Church, Virginia.
