Summary
Lykke has recently started Lykke Streams, a crowdsourcing initiative to staff and complete all kinds of projects. The platform is available in beta, and we are looking for a team to further develop and support it.
Description
At Lykke, we’re building a global blockchain-based marketplace. We’re doing it in a new way: we don’t interview and hire; instead, we look for enthusiastic people around the world who want to join us in our mission.
There are commercial contest platforms out there, but we haven’t found one that is flexible enough for us. That is why we have started Lykke Streams, a crowdsourcing initiative to staff and complete all kinds of projects.
Lykke Streams will provide a forum for publishing project ideas and attracting talent from around the world. Project originators can post their ideas on the platform and set aside prize funds to be awarded upon completion. Developers, designers, and other professionals can contribute directly to projects of interest and work collaboratively to earn the prize.
Now Lykke Streams is available in beta at streams.lykke.com, and we are looking for a team to further develop and support it. The winners may be offered ongoing contracts or employment.
Our Ideas about Lykke Streams
MULTIPLE AWARDS AND COOPETITION
We don’t believe in a winner-take-all approach. We believe projects should be entered and won in stages. In those stages, we are looking for enthusiasm and enough skill to get to the next stage. The stages may be: a concept, a proof of concept, a minimum viable product, etc.
TEAM WORK
It’s often best to combine people with different skills. We encourage coders, designers, thinkers, and visual communicators to work together to make a good response.
Here’s the interesting thing we have learned: it’s not really a competition. We can take some or all of the winners and ask them to talk with each other and combine their solutions and take the next step together.
PAYMENT
We want our platform to be open for anyone to use, free of charge. The only thing we ask is that cash awards be given using Lykke wallets.
BUSINESS
We believe this platform can become a business, because companies will want to use it often. The platform will be open source, but many for-profit ventures can be built on top of it.
THE BIG GOAL
The main thing we want is an active contest community, with people around the world creating and responding to contests of all kinds.
