Social Ingenuity Practice Your Passion HomeEntrepreneursMembersContact What does Social Ingenuity offer startups? Social Ingenuity takes your idea from a sketch on a napkin to revenue. Sales, marketing, legal, production, testing, deployment, management. We've got it covered. We build it together Many startups have at least one thing in common – the need for highly specialized talent. It is a rare case that the founder(s) are specialists in every area of business. For example, while you may excel at using the best social networking tools, building a web site from scratch, managing finances, and fundraising may not be your strong points. Social Ingenuity brings talent from every area of business to your startup. We build and manage all of the things that you'll need in the areas that matter most, leaving you to do what you do best. We power it Ok, many startups have another thing in common – the need for a robust infrastructure upon which to build the application. When you flip the on switch, and end up on the front page of Digg, will you be prepared? If your product requires high availability and seven nines, do you have the resources handy to set up, configure, and maintain the server farm? Most startups don't concern themselves with scalability until it is too late. We provide not only the infrastructure, but the system administrators that keep everything humming along smoothly. We fund it, kind of. At the end of the startup cycle, your startup should be in revenue. It will definitely have a business plan, marketing strategy, a clear direction for the future, and an exciting network of resources to power it forward. So how does Social Ingenuity make money? In exchange for providing the team, and the infrastructure to build your startup, we take a small percentage of the startup. Our members dedicate their time to building companies, mostly because they simply want to help. Many also participate in Social Ingenuity to be a part of the next big thing. The percentage is no more than an angel investor would require, but will vary based on your needs and expectations. When your startup graduates, it will be ready for a VC round, completely bypassing the traditional angel round. Survey Emails Sent 06/26/08 - The first round of survey emails were sent.
