I have domain name for an idea around a kickstarter type platform based on time.
You have a project that needs: 1000 hours of Data Collection, 50 hours of development time, etc.
But, you have a chicken and egg problem. If enough people put in the time, it would be successful, but only after a certain threshold of effort is met. No one wants to "go first" and put the risk in.
I feel like this could be a solution. If enough people pledge time (maybe with backups) the project could be a success.
Simple example might be an ebook with different chapters written but different authors.
- shraremywin2 7y agoMaybe a game? Datatset for AI. CyptoTokens. maybe a blog. contribute time to different articles. What do you think? Are there other types of project this might make sense?
- shraremywin2 7y agoI was also thinking of a time trading platform. That could use this as a kick off point.
- verdverm 7y agoHow do you handle that time estimates never match reality?
- shraremywin2 7y agoI'm thinking it's not a platform for managing projects as much as a platform to aggregate a group of people interested in a project/cause. But, over time users would give/get feedback as to whether they lived up to their time pledge.
- verdverm 7y agoWhat should I set my "time funding goals" as? (was what I was getting at) Do I need to interview the volunteers? With Kickstarter, I get money I can later hire people I filter.
- shraremywin2 7y agoIt mostly was more of crowd sourced type projects. I originally thought of it as a way to kickstart a time trading platform.
