Right, but how do you get started? Begin by giving away the service? Work on spec? What kind of companies/organizations would hire such a firm?

Bet on propositions on InTrade. If you are good, you will make money from the exercise, as well as establish crediblility.

Perhaps start by giving it away, or sell it to small buyers (eg. individuals).

But I've got to admit I don't have experience in this area, so my suggestions are mostly naive speculation (but hopefully my speculation is of high quality!). Research into existing prediction companies is called for.
