This is the place to come if you're looking for your next project.
I'm working solo, without a lot of free-floating resources that can be put into things that sound cool, but which may not pay off.
I know there are passionate people, with financial and non-financial resources who are eager to find their next thing to work on - all those people are welcome here.
All I ask? If the idea reaches profitability? You pay me 1% per year commission on the pure profit you make. I know profitability takes time, so I'm not expecting a year one return, or even a year two return. I will expect a six monthly review, and I'm happy to make time for coaching and mentorship on a "pay what you're able" basis until profitability is achieved, with those services being covered by the commission once profitability is reached.
Current Ideas Needing Teams:
1. A Skillshare and Hiring Fair Weekly Town Centre Market, which combines heritage crafts and modern and future skills, with produce, goods, and service options available to purchase on the day, and the opportunity for people to "have a go", and discuss employment options.
These markets should run as traditional street/village markets, without an entry fee, and with reasonable, accessible stallholder fees. (Visit Swaffham market, in Norfolk, UK for a view of the kind of market I'm talking about.)
2. Microfarms, available on a peppercorn rent and profit share basis, to people who are not from farming backgrounds, with a prioritisation of people currently out of work.

3. A British Isles and British rivers cruise company
4. A recruitment app which matches CVs to open job ads, with customisable match tailoring - eg, jobseekers and recruiters can each set a minumum percentage of close relevancy match, to improve both sides' chances of finding the most relevant candidates/opportunities

Do you have an idea you don't have the time, team, or cashflow to pursue yourself? Tell us about if by email - theproductivepessimist@yahoo.com - and I'll post it here (and you get the 1% commission once profitability is hit, plus I'll offer completely pro-bono mentorship and coaching to the team who implement your idea - you just set it and forget it.)
