PROBLEM / 005WHAT IS WORTH SOLVING?
The people and resources required to turn applied intelligence into outcomes are disconnected.
Builders, researchers, operators, investors and organisations need better infrastructure to find one another and collaborate around demonstrated opportunities.
WORKING RECORD
- Current direction
- Build & Venture Network
- Observed problem
- The capabilities required to move from a demonstrated opportunity to an operating system or venture are distributed across networks that rarely share the same evidence.
- Who experiences it
- Builders, researchers, operators, investors and organisations attempting to form applied teams or support useful systems.
- Current solution
- General professional networks, accelerators, venture platforms, recruiting channels and private introductions.
- Why it is inadequate
- Connections are usually organised around profiles, roles or funding events rather than a shared body of problem evidence and applied work.
- Economic opportunity
- Coordinate people and resources around demonstrated opportunities, allowing teams, builds and ventures to form from a visible record of work.
- Evidence
- operator observationParticipants in applied intelligence commonly search for collaborators, operating environments and capital through separate networks.
- Open questions
- What evidence should an opportunity demonstrate before network formation begins?
- How should contribution, ownership and accountability be recorded?
- Which network functions create durable collaboration rather than more introductions?
Working observation
Useful collaboration needs more than discovery. The participants need a common account of the problem, the evidence accumulated so far and the decisions that remain open.
The Build & Venture Network is the current direction for testing infrastructure that forms relationships around demonstrated work rather than abstract interest.
