A Decade of Groundwork: Shaping the Future

Over the past decade, '36in36' has been more than just a concept — it's been a labor of dedication and innovation. Our team has been diligently working to lay the groundwork for a unique platform that supports and launches diverse projects. These initial projects, nearly ten in number, are not just theoretical ideas; they are tangible outcomes of our commitment to revolutionizing the startup ecosystem.

Each one of these initial projects has been carefully developed to a pivotal stage, poised for introduction in 2024. They represent the starting blocks of our grand journey, but their journey is far from complete. As we unveil these projects, we will actively seek input from our growing community. True to the ethos of '36in36', these projects will thrive on rapid customer iteration, evolving with contributions from diverse participants. This approach ensures that every project benefits from the collective wisdom and creativity of our community, enhancing their relevance and impact before their public launch.

This preparatory phase was crucial not only in building individual projects but also in creating an ecosystem where innovation thrives. We believe in leading by example. By already having a series of projects in the pipeline, we aim to 'prime the pump' for future contributors. It's our way of kickstarting the platform with real, actionable initiatives that set the tone for the dynamic and collaborative environment we envision.

As a testament to our long-term vision and commitment, we registered our domain back in 2013. A glimpse at the ICANN record will show our early steps in this journey (on the right), marking the start of an ambitious endeavor to redefine collaborative innovation.

Equitable Participation: Equity Across 36 Projects

At '36in36', we've embraced a unique equity distribution model, designed with the principle that every contribution is crucial. Our model allows participants to earn equity not just in a single project but across all 36 projects we launch. This innovative approach reflects our goal to ensure that every effort, regardless of its size, is valued and appropriately rewarded.

The reality of innovation, especially in the startup world, is that success can be unpredictable. While we strive for success in all our projects, we recognize that not every project will meet the market’s demands as anticipated. To mitigate this uncertainty and fairly compensate our contributors, our equity model ensures that even partial participation in one project translates into a stake in the overall success of '36in36'. This system improves the odds of contributors receiving recognition and reward for their efforts.

Drawing an analogy from baseball, just as a player aims for a batting average of .300, our objective is similar with our project outcomes. We aspire to achieve a mix of hits – at least one 'home run' (a major success), one 'triple' (a significant achievement), three 'doubles' (solid successes), and six 'singles' (projects that meet their goals). It's an ambitious target, but one that we believe encapsulates our commitment to a diverse range of successful outcomes, all while sharing these triumphs within our unified community.
