New blockchain platform promises to shake startups with “collaborating”

A project with great ambitions of becoming the largest blockchain ecosystem in 2021 and beyond is to build a platform where companies can discover talented freelancers, entrepreneurs can develop business ideas through crowdfunding, and passionate investors can get involved with startups they believe in.

Ideaology says it is creating Active IDEA because there is an urgent need for a productive, digital-focused, self-sustaining environment where businesses can be nurtured and careers can thrive.

Over time, it is hoped that aspiring entrepreneurs will be able to make their vision a reality with the help of a community that can offer the financial support, advice and services needed to get a new business off the ground.

Amar Kovacevic, co-founder and chief technology officer of Ideaology, said: “Ideaology wants to offer opportunities to freelancers, startup founders and investors through the Active IDEA platform. It is the vision that feeds our mission “.

Changing habits

According to Ideaology, existing sites like Upwork and Fiverr aren’t always a convenient way for qualified people to find paid projects to work on. Given how the coronavirus pandemic has transformed the way we all work, Active IDEA is specifically designed to give the most gifted freelancers as much visibility as possible and a greater chance to connect with people who will be interested in what have to offer.

“Freelancers don’t necessarily work on online freelance platforms, and clients or companies don’t necessarily look for talent on those websites. Many of them run their business independently from their websites or agencies and seek clients through advertising, email marketing, generation of contacts and other techniques, “added Khaled Alkalbani, founder and CEO of Ideaology.

A prototype of Active IDEA has already been built, and Ideaology is determined to eliminate some of the common pitfalls with market-leading sites, which often require high commission levels after connecting freelancers with clients. According to Ideaology, a common problem among the top three platforms is that freelancers aren’t always given the space to showcase all of their talents, making it difficult to convey their true skills.

The company calls its business approach “collaborating”. Explaining what this means in practice, the executives provided an example of an aspiring entrepreneur who is fond of non-fungible tokens but knows little about how they are developed. Through Active IDEA, they can connect with a product manager who has the skills to bring their concept to fruition. By investing in each other, these two professionals can become partners and seek support from other community members through crowdfunding.

Overall, it’s a concept that reinforces an important message: no man, or business, is an island.

A token-powered ecosystem

Ideaology claims that IDEA, an ERC-20 token, will be at the heart of its operation. Together they act as utility and payment tokens, unlocking access to Active IDEA features. The digital asset can also be used to participate in voting, giving owners the ability to decide which projects they would like the community to work on next. Meanwhile, a fully decentralized marketplace will make it easy to buy, sell, and trade in everything from business services to non-fungible tokens and dApps.

The project is now establishing partnerships with major cryptocurrency and wallet exchanges and an initial exchange offer launched on December 1 through the P2PB2B exchange. Active Idea is hoped to accumulate one million users over the next three years.

With estimates suggesting there are now 1.1 billion freelancers worldwide, Ideaology hopes its platform will offer a compelling, modern alternative that allows people to find jobs and grow businesses on their terms.
