Seems like the challenge there is that you're setting yourself up for the liabilities without the control.
If anyone can use your service, you're going to have fraudsters left and right. If you have to vet them before they can use it, aren't you just another version of kickstarter?
- krashidov 14y agoGood point. I imagine you would have to find the right balance. Somewhere in the middle of anybody can join, and personally reviewing every single applicant. I don't know a thing about this industry, but I'm sure if you make the applicant validate that they have a business license, and that they somehow prove their real identity, you could keep fraud to a minimum. Even when fraud does happen, I'm sure a company like Amazon (which you would probably build your service on top of) would return the funds back.
- niggler 14y agoWhat about a counterparty that just does due diligence? They can dig further and figure out if the team can actually accomplish the task and if the service is vaporware or real. This could be a simple badge program (for some upfront fixed vetting fee) that lets people say they have been verified. The problem is that Kickstarter isn't just filtering for viability. Some sort of DD would help say that the project is feasible and eliminate the politics.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThat's a good idea. There's room for someone to come in and rate the viability of various projects. A need, really. Even with Kickstarter, as we've seen before.
