I share Nick's concerns with the model. People whose skills are time- intensive are more highly rewarded irrespective of the value of their contribution to a project. It is sometimes the smallest input that makes the greatest difference...very philosophical for a Monday morning, I know! I believe that all these issues could be avoided if the equity of any projects created at startupcamp remained with a startupcamp NFP organisation. Any proceeds should be used to help fund future camps, training sessions, 'real' business ventures, etc. If people aren't willing to share ideas on this basis then they (the ideas) are perhaps not suitable for a camp that is "all about the journey"? To avoid this conflict, perhaps the organisers of the camps should themselves come up with the basic ideas and the attendees expand on these and execute. Taking this a step further, perhaps all groups could attempt to solve the same problem instead of creating 3 (or more) different businesses. That introduces the concept of competition to the camp, and the possibility of 'industrial espionage' ;) -- Paul http://webequity.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Silicon Beach Australia" group.
