I am starting a group on Google+ where we will use the videoconferencing (hangouts) feature of that service to meet face to face to review each others ventures, and to give ideas and recommendations.

I think you'll do fine, if the people are not looking for new ideas, then they will not even show up.

When people come to a table to discuss things, they are expecting new ideas, so people like this generally appreciate positive criticism, especially if it comes in a way that is easily received. Some people are better at this than others, and some people never have anything positive to add.
