Describe el impacto social que genera tu solución
Addressing Economic Justice The current economic climate has lead to challenging times and a jobs crisis for many people in communities across the globe; especially the youth between the ages of 15-24 and recent college graduates. The World Economic Forum reports that close to 75 million youth were unemployed in 2012, with an unemployment rate of 17.4% in North America. Columbia is currently facing just above a 30% poverty rate, with 9% in extreme poverty. The lack of work and engagement in creativity can potentially result in young people partaking in a life of crime, which has high chances of leading to a dim future. An alternative option for this group is to put their talents to use as micro-entrepreneurs to co-create cooperative enterprises. However, there are many barriers to acquiring the necessary startup capital and resources, and close to 80% of startups fail within the first 5 years. Business incubators and accelerators, mainly in the technology space, have offered support for aspiring entrepreneurs but only have the capacity to assist a select few due to their focus on a particular niche, the brick & mortar approach, and limited funds. What if there was a way to utilize technology to scale and decentralize this business support model to assist all kinds of business niches, in any location with internet access, with a very large pool of resources and funds to deploy. How can this happen? We believe by offering communities online spaces that enable creators to tap into the power of the lean startup methodology, crowdsourcing resources via the sharing economy, and crowdfunding capital from supporters and investors. Our mission is to provide technology that democratizes access to the necessary tools, resources, and communities of support for creators to manifest their ideas together.
Descripción breve de la sustentabilidad económica de tu proyecto
We will offer flexible subscription packages to the organizations that we work with. For upstart organizations that can't afford the annual plans, we will help them set up membership dues and other fees for their users and get a transaction fee from those revenues until the yearly subscription fee is paid in total. We will also generate revenue from offering premium support, custom development, and affiliate marketing.
