GuruDigger is an online internet products’ incubator.
GuruDigger weaves together internet engineers who share the same dreams and motivate them 他to build out their own internet products.
1. Problem – Internet engineers are difficult to find a technical partner who share the same dream.
Currently , the situation is most of the middle to high level internet engineers have several internet product ideas which scratch their own itch. They could realize that by themselves. However, either physically or mentally, they need a real technical partner.
As almost all of the engineers are not fond of social networking, the persons they could choose are very limited. These people basically are classmates, colleagues and friends. Unfortunately, if they have to cross out these people from their “potential partners list” : who are not reliable, who are not good at programming, who are not interested in the ideas and who don’t want to work with them. That is almost nobody left.
That’s why there are so many high-level internet engineers still put their dreams in mind and never kick those off.
2. Solution – Weaves together internet engineers who have the same product idea.
We only give accounts to internet engineers.
We have our own invention – Guru Rank, which is a data -mining based world wide internet engineers’ technical ranking system. For brief, you give me your emails and we tell you how technical you are via collecting and analyzing all of your “foot print” left on the internet.
So the basic function of that system is to know if you are an internet engineer.
Product Ideas’ Brainstorming
Engineers share their product ideas for brainstorming. The other engineers give suggestion and feedback for the ideas. On the time of being back and forth, they are knowing each other and motivating each other and of course, moving forward the product ideas. Also, their relationship are getting closer and closer until one day they decide to work with each other.
Guru Fuel
Furthermore, we have another feature to make the engineers get huge motivation for developing their products. That is, Guru Fuel.
Every 2,160 hours ( 90 days ), each GuruDigger user could have 1 liter of Guru Fuel. They could give that to any but only one product idea.
After 2,160 hours ( 90 days ), 3 teams:
- The team got the most Guru Fuel;
- The 2 teams GuruDigger think most potential;
No matter where the team members they collect on GuruDigger are now, they could get the paid flights, hotels to let them meet together in a city which start from Shanghai, and then could be Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, San Francesco etc. Using 4 days to make a sprint of their teams and products.
The 4 days event is a real show. The first 2 days they have to finish the city race which we want to let them know what is the “teamwork”. The 2nd 2 days, they have to make a sprint of their products and present those afterwards.
We will shoot all of what happens and edit the video to be a real show program which will be promoted via our media partners.
When they got more promotion, they should get more motivation.
Upon all of the things above, we hope more high level engineers could have an opportunity to realize their dreams and maybe the next Google, Apple will start from this.
