Review my Idea: Building Prototypes as a Business in Silicon Valley

Basically, I want to help entrepreneurs to build very first versions of their products, quickly validate their ideas before they found serious tech-cofounders and get funded.

Why would entrepreneurs be interested in it

- it's cheap and quick;

- I'm in SF and can meet in-person within the Bay Area;

- they can get things done and get first working versions without a team.

Why would I do that

As an interesting alternative to remote/free-lance job. Help to network and gain new experience. I can't consider getting a real job because of the F-1 status.

Tools: Ruby on Rails, jQuery, mysql/mongo.

Any ideas on will this work? Any similar services in the Bay Area? And the main question: How to estimate the price of the work?
