I have never been a fan of this mentality. Traditionally, the world of startups is plaqued with non-disclosure agreements and a lot of secrecy around your business idea. So again, lets take a look at how the opposite from the norm.

I was looking at attending an event and saw a sponsor of the event that piqued my interest. The name is Cambrian House and the concept is “Crowdsourcing”. Spell check doesn’t particularly like this word yet, well because it isn’t a word. Maybe in the near future though, it will be as commonly thrown around as “dun dun da dun… Outsourcing”

The concept of behind crowdsourcing is that anyone is able to join the community and pick projects that they are interested in working on. Their work towards a project earns them royalty points to share the profit for that product. You can learn more about this by visiting their site at: http://www.cambrianhouse.com/
