Whats the idea behind Collab.ie?
We promised more details about our new project and have just got around to now.
Collab can be used to find people with skills for a project or if there is a project that you are interested in you can contact the original poster to offer to collaborate with them…! If you add a project the title of your project will get a tweet to anyone who is following collab and people can follow posts through an RSS feed. Some examples of using it might be:
- Someone looking to find a distributor for their products in the South East
- A marketer with an idea for a website that needs to hook up with a web developer
Quite a few people we know are trying to set up businesses and projects either from being unemployed or by bootstrapping a project whilst in a full time job. The problem (well one of them) is that budding entrepreneurs can have difficulty meeting people with skills to complement their own either to kick an idea for a project around or to bring something to fruition.
Collab is aimed towards those people who are pre-vc money and trying to “get going” so to speak. Anything that may or may not come between people who use the site is between them and we have no involvement in it. There is no charge to use it and all correspondence is between the project poster and the recipients.
You can check it out at www.collab.ie and you can follow collab at http://twitter.com/collabme.
