It totally depends on wich kind of business you wuant to start
You can very comfortably start number of small projects by giving away your bitcoins. I think it is not a big deal actually but you need to plan and think well before making any kind of decision. Ill prefer to keep bitcoins and start trading of bitcoin instead of starting number of small projects. This will just add more trouble for me and it will require more hard work.
I agree with this better have a solid plan for your project first then look for someone who can help you with the project atleast whenever he asks you for details you can answer him if you have a solid plan.,
