Many people have promising ideas but lack the technical or business skills to execute them, while skilled professionals often struggle to find interesting side projects or fair collaboration opportunities. This mismatch prevents potentially valuable projects from coming to life. One way to bridge this gap could be through a platform that connects idea owners with professionals willing to work for equity, ensuring all contributors share equal ownership in the resulting projects.

This differs from existing freelance platforms by focusing on shared ownership rather than one-time payments, aligning long-term incentives among participants who want to work on side projects.
The approach could offer several advantages:
Key challenges might include ensuring fair participation (which could be addressed through contribution tracking) and attracting professionals who typically prefer paid work (potential solutions include partnerships with schools and making high-quality projects visible).
Testing the concept could begin with a simple website focusing on a specific niche like tech projects. If validated, additional features might include:
The platform could eventually explore revenue streams like premium features or small equity stakes in successful projects, while maintaining the core focus on connecting collaborators through fair ownership structures.
