OSE Enterprise Brainstorming

Possible approaches:

• Jams
• Hackathons
• Design Sprints
• Startup Weekend - twist being - we are a distributed team, and teams start enterprises for different locations that are doing the same thing for common production
• Coopetition - like FIRST Robotics
• Meetup
• Incentive Challenge - organize a large number of sponsors interested in a technology, with a promise to produce at low cost via preorders
• Crowd Supply model - helping developers bring products to life. Electronics only.
• Local Motors model - incentive challenges, results not public
• HeroX model - incentive challenge; open to anyone
• FIRST Robotics model - coopetitions - but add purpose to it
• GrabCAD - incentive challenges - designs remain free.
• L'Atelier Paysan - model of proprietary development of agriculture tools.

OSE Narrative

Ideally, a crowd-supported project would involve interested stakeholders providing sufficient development support to bring a product to market. Ideally, an incentive prize element exists, such that contributors are incentivized.
