Swap Ideas was created by the Idea Hunt community to help the growing number of entrepreneurs that face challenges alone, and don’t have the big budgets to hire consultants. The service is free, and based on a simple principle: give ideas to receive them. Upon signing up we will matchmake you with 5 other entrepreneurs that want feedback on their business models, landing pages and/or user acquisition. The idea exchange will take place on Idea Hunt.
If you’re happy with the ideas and feedback you receive from other idea swappers, we encourage you to write a LinkedIn recommendation as a note of thanks.
We’re really happy to share this community project with Product Hunt, and look forward to swapping ideas with you!
@tribaling Great work Elia & rest of the team! I really like Idea Hunt in and of itself, but to sign up to swap ideas with other entrepreneurs really takes it to the next level. This must be the definition of win-win, an opportunity to help others, as well as receiving outside perspectives for your own project.
It's an interesting way of creating stronger connections and networks online, one-to-one with other entrepreneurs. Also, your encouragement to write LinkedIn recommendations as a thanks is just brilliant!
@thisisgustav@tribaling Gustav, that's just it - to be able to exchange ideas with people who are in similar stages, crucial stages of building startups and businesses and constructively collaborate to solve challenges - it's incredible!
You should share this over at /r/entrepreneur and /r/startups
I do like the idea of having to give out ideas in order to receive them. Seems everyone wants to ask for help but rarely turns around and provides it (speaking about message boards, reddit subs, etc not life in general).
@tribaling I am active on both of those. Right now might not be a bad time for you to post here https://www.reddit.com/r/startup... I'll be happy to share about it on /r/entrepreneur
@natelegler Thanks for the ideas! These are great - and what Swap Ideas is all about! We are really excited that people have grasped the genesis of the idea from the very start and are excited about collaboration and co-creation as means to elevate the entrepreneurial community!
What was behind the choice of using Linkedin login only?
What does the actual platform look like behind the login? (without making me login first of course ha)
@bentossell Thanks, great questions! The LinkedIn login was selected to make a great matchmaking between users based on their professional profile (title, skills etc).
Once you sign-up we will matchmake you with 5 other entrepreneurs that have similar challenges, and help you to setup a brief on Idea Hunt (concierge style). You will choose if you want to keep your challenge private to the group of 5, or share it with the public.
This is what a selection of challenges on Idea Hunt looks like. We have collected more than 10 000 ideas for 700 companies this year. http://ideahunt.io/tag/featured
@eonpilot Thanks for the idea 😄 we have now implemented a standard email signup in response to feedback we received about LinkedIn being too high friction
