Regarding IP: The important and hard part(if you want this to solve problems and create businesses) is to expose creators/entrepreneurs to good problems , and connect them with domain experts and the relevant knowledge. This way, you leave the details of the solution(IP) private, which should help motivate the creation of a product and a business By making it as a business creation platform, and highlighting the companies it started, or even the groups that that formed and are working through this, you create a very strong incentive to domain experts(which are usually very busy people, think doctors, lawyers, etc) to publish problems on the platform, preferably in some detailed, and interesting way. And by having interesting content about really good problems, you gather high quality entrepreneurs and creators, which also post resumes and details about themselfs, to make creating good connections easier. And by making you're content interesting, you could get much wider readership(which helps with marketing), also among people who are not entrepreneurs but might hold useful knowledge. If you'll figure someway to incentivise them to contribute, the better, but you'll have to be very carefull with signal to noise. EDIT:also , by creating a different stream of important problems, you create stuff for bloggers/journalists to write about , which is great for marketing. |
