Some of the key components, for an individual with a unique idea for a website, follow.
You don't pay us to create the site.
The foundation of 36in36 is that idea people (like you), coders, SEO specialists, investors, and designers, come together to complete projects, and then share in the overall success of the 36 sites.
If your site does less than expected, your efforts may not go unrewarded.
We realize how much work goes into a project like the one you're considering. We also know that there's some randomness associated with what web sites work, and ones that don't generate as much traffic. If your project is one that is chosen, you will share in the results of all the sites, regardless of how your site does.
We give you a way to cash out.
Even very successful sites sometimes aren't large enough for the creator to sell them easily. Because your part of a pool of other websites, we anticipate that your investment of time and effort will be more liquid.
The Financial Markets Weren't Created with Websites in Mind
Traditional Wall Street Investment is great for a company that proves a concept in a small scale, then goes to the financial markets to scale up production. 'Scaling-up' to a manufacture means adding buildings, engineers, tooling, possibly production or assembly lines. That's expensive stuff.
Today, once a prototype of a website is created, scaling up may mean nothing more than a click or two of a mouse to add an addtional server.
The point is, by the time an investment is made, it's fairly well established whether the website will be successful or not.
In some ways, we see the greatest risk in website creation is putting all your eggs in one basket. By participating in 36in36, we hope to reduce that risk, as well as move some of the risk to the developers.
36in36 is a different way for you to bring your idea to the world. Reducing the cost by using a system that's in place, and allowing you to participate in the potential success of the other 35 sites.
