On any given day, the chances of success for a startup are tiny, infinitesimal even, but I think this co-op idea could actually be viable.
It needs, however, to add something else to the mix other than just an easily readable manifesto. It needs to have a portfolio, and it needs to offer governance and evidence of good financial and operational conduct, which is what corps look for when assessing risk and on-boarding a new specialist supplier.
The fact that you are only looking for developers makes me think there is much you haven't thought about yet :-)
- j4pe 12y agoWho says we want to be a startup? We want management costs to be as low as possible. The trust network should be a free resource to make freelancing better for everybody, the co-op just houses it. We're only looking for devs at the moment for the same reason everybody else is - we've got way, way more work than we can handle! All surplus value to the creators of value : )
- ukigumo 12y agoGood to hear that you have a plan because it's going to be costly to do pre-screenings, code quality assurance, process design, lead generation, payment and account handling, project and resource management, etc. And architects, you need architects :-)
