Previous Design Concept

  1. People pay. Q: How do you measure buy-in PRIOR to the event?. This is a second part of having people show up.
  2. We are testing why aren't people showing up. (as opposed to 'how do we get people to show up. We have a strong and almost 100% conviction that Enterprise (ability to obtain a valuable product to fulfill self-interest, whether a usufruct product or an enterprise for making a living)

Product Strategy

Build a house to change the world

  1. $10k per seat to participate in XE Event.
    1. Product proper: $50k package total, BYOL. $1k to non-refundable at-risk investment to participate. Total $10k. We need to convince people that it's possible, based on existing documentation and experience. Produce worst-case scenario. Basic Ergonomics per 250 SF - 16 wall, 16 roof and floor modules. 32 modules. 32 weekends, of 2-4 hours with 1 person. Includes pile driver attachment for Bobcat, or can be done manually with 2 people.
    2. 2000 houses produced. 1000 in one year (first batch of 100 entrepreneurs, with 10 houses each guaranteed). New OSE Chapters - 100 entrepreneurs, 10 houses each - by Year 2. Note: this does not leave room for outside house builds.
    3. 3 Tracks: Participants, Entrepreneurs, OSE Chapters. Participants - SME stakeholders in house.
  2. House build in Summer of Extreme Design Build 2021 - with 100 onsite participants (enterprise trainees) with OSE infrastructure upgrades (RV park, outdoor kitchen/bath, camp) - to handle 200 participants.
  3. Concurrent Collaborative Design Challenge deployed at time of the event - large printer. But this is an extra, not an essential.
  4. Concurrent challenge to do the High T printer - Crowd Supply.
  5. Need $250-500k for seed money to organize event.
  6. $100-200 for the Book.
  7. Proof-of-concept 256 sf prototype prior to campaign! Get a few people, video it.
  8. Do the HeroX, Crowd Supply, and Kickstarter at the same time. Free copy of e-book to all people who made OBI kickstarter possible.
  9. HeroX does the large printer. We do another XE event for the printer build - not part of the HeroX. HeroX is just a reward, but also primarily for publicity sake.
  10. Crowd Supply - real development - to generate initial interest in XE, as this will be the foundation for the Large Printer for house panels.
  11. Kickstarter - essentially distribution and funding for the Open Building Institute Take 2, where we also say that we are discovering a way to get beyond the Heroic Effort by leveraging the crowds.
