Zwischendurch schaffen es ein paar wenige Startups aus dem Copycatbrei herauszustechen. Einen erfrischenden und vielversprechenden Ansatz hat sich Spigit verpflichtet: Startups spielerisch in Kollaboration gründen.

Sie vereinen dabei verschiedenste Widsom of the Crowds Tools (Börsenspiele, Ideenwettbewerbe,…) um Geschäftsideen weiterzuentwickeln und auf Ihre potentielle Marktakzeptanz zu testen. Mashable zu Spigit:

Spigit is a newly launched community that aims to provide a network of support for start-ups and their founders.

The simulation engine provided by spigit is a way to sort of test out your idea. The simulation runs through three stages, where approval badges are awarded for things like buzz percentile, number of views, and expert approval. Completion badges are awarded at the end of each stage, enabling ideas to graduate to the next level. Several data points are considered for the simulation engine, including the tracking of dynamic interaction on the site. Spigit’s simulation benefits carry over into the virtual stock market as well, where “spigits” can be traded to determine the market value of a particular idea.

As a participant in this community, you don’t have to be testing out an idea. You can provide value by offering feedback, interacting with others on the site, and helping the idea to either gain traction or lose steam. This wisdom-of-the-crowd approach can be useful when prepping ideas for real world implementation, but the structure of spigit allows for experts to be created and relied upon for the cultivation of the community. So users get badges in the same manner as ideas. You can also support or deny an idea, write a review, offer up resources, or add it to your watch list. (via Mashable)

Wir bleiben dran und warten auf erste Erfolge.
