Ask HN: Crowdsourced project ideas that split equity
I remember there being a site, seen here recently that voted on a new project idea each month. Afterwords, ownership of the project would be divided up among the participating members.
I cannot recall what sits this was, and gooing is getting me no where. Was it real?
Where else does HN recommend going to find new projects/groups to work on/with?
- arielm 12y agoQuirky does this for physical products. I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for but it's a pretty cool company with an interesting business model. I'd personally love to see something like that for apps, but do see inherent problems with the model.
