| - | * are we still trying to work with the [[ProjectScreening]] process? If "yes", how do these roles correspond with that processs? How does each role correspond with each [[Stage/gate process]]? --[[User:SamRose|SamRose]] 13:07, 17 September 2007 (EDT) | + | #REDIRECT [[Talk:FundCamp Platform Prototyping]] |
| - | * Hey Frederic, maybe you didn't see this question here? Perhaps we should set up a time sometime over the next couple of weeks to discuss this via phone? --[[User:SamRose|SamRose]] 07:18, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | + | |

| - | I think that YCombinator, Seedcamp and FundCamp belong to what we called Seed Accelerators that change in an interesting way the dynamics the [[ProjectScreening]] process by compressing the 4 first stages (idea, Founding team, prototype, stakeholders) in a contracted camp/post camp fixed period. I believe the subsequent stages stay the same but that accelerating the 4 first stages could be of value for "certain" type of projects. -- [[User:FredericBaud|FredericBaud]] 08:47, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | + | |

| - | That helps. So, during the actual face to face camp/conference, you'll be going through idea, Founding team, prototype, stakeholders [[Stage/gate process]] as a group, is that right? Would you say that the collaboration platform was envisioned by you as being part of this face-to-face camp process? Is there voting at each "gate", or some other decision-making threshold to cross? --[[User:SamRose|SamRose]] 13:11, 18 September 2007 (EDT) | + | |

| - | You're right that idea gate is probably prior to the selection. In fact, a seedcamp is organizing 3 gates of its own. | + | |
| - | # gate 1: selection of project to participate to the camp | + | |
| - | # gate 2: selection of projects after the week to get funded (projects then get incorporated) | + | |
| - | # gate 3: selection of projects after a couple of month of development to get a first round | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | If we relate that to the [[ProjectScreening]] process | + | |
| - | # gate 1: we crossed the idea gate | + | |
| - | # gate 3: we crossed the Founding team, prototype and stakeholders gate to get a proper project for standard VC's investment. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | So a seed camp is kind of compressing and reorganizing everything between crossing the idea gate and reaching the stakeholder gate. gate 2 is an important filter, but it does not entirely map to the standard [[ProjectScreening]] process. I believe that the rearrangement of the seed period is what can lead potentially to a more effective process. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I think that the collaboration platform is then important prior to the camp, and for all the projects that do not cross the selection gates so that they can continue improving. | + | |

| - | To complement slightly the comments above, I'd say that I think the platform could serve as a virtual incubator during the offline (meaning off from the physical camp) periods; either because it's happening before the camp, or because the project has not been selected for this round. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | One other thing I would like to complement is that crossing a gate is validated by someone external to the project, either a jury that validates an application letting the project cross the idea gate, or because money is invested in the project making it cross the stakeholder gate. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | People familiar with workflow applications will surely recognize the pattern of tracking a project through different stages and implementing collaboration to make a project go from one stage to the next,...or being terminated because its prospects of success seem to low for keeping working on it. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | OK, all this is very high level and please anyone interested in more practical questions, do not hesitate to jump-in. -- [[User:FredericBaud|FredericBaud]] 06:01, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | + | |
