Collaboration on the Internet creates innovation. New inventions, new art, and new products–built by people working together on the Internet.
FindCollabs is a product we have been working on to enable people to find and collaborate with each other. If you want to try it out, you can go to FindCollabs.com.
FindCollabs is for finding people to create your projects with, and getting those projects built. Whether you are a programmer, a writer, a musician, a game designer, an actor, a videographer, or a project manager–you can find people to collaborate with.
I love to work on so many different types of projects, and I love to collaborate with other people. For me, the best way that I learn new skills is by building things. I like to write music, create software, make podcasts, and build businesses. I like to create all the time.
For big projects, it’s easier to build your project with a team. Finding team members can be very hard. I value other people who are creative and reliable.
FindCollabs lets you find and invite people to your projects, so that you can put together a team to build your project.
FindCollabs also has a reputation system.
When you work on a project, your collaborators rate you. As you make contributions to projects, you show the FindCollabs community that you are reliable and productive–and other people will want to work with you because of that.
The only way to build huge, ambitious projects as a team is for people to trust each other. If you are unreliable, people will not want to work with you.
When you join a project on FindCollabs, you are committing to doing work that will add value to that project.
If you like to build projects and be creative, you might like FindCollabs. To get started, you can go to FindCollabs.com, log in, and post a project. Or join someone else’s project.
If you are ever confused about anything, you can always send me an email.
We are sponsoring a series of hackathons on FindCollabs.
These hackathons are for anyone with a creative project–whether you want to make a music video, a virtual reality game, an acoustic guitar song, a cryptocurrency whitepaper, a mobile app, a commercial–anything creative.
Our first hackathon starts today, March 3rd 2019, and ends at 11:59 PM PST on Saturday March 16th. On March 17 2019 we will announce the winners of the first hackathon, and send them emails. We will also announce the details of the second hackathon.
Prizes
In the first hackathon, the prizes are not very big. But they will get bigger over time. If you like the idea of FindCollabs, it might benefit you to get involved now, so that you can build your reputation and find better people to work with in the future.
1st place: $500 divided evenly among the winning team; SE Daily hoodies for each member of the team
2nd place: SE Daily hoodies for each member of the team
Most valuable feedback on the product: SE Daily Towel

The FindCollabs hackathons will be judged by a panel of investors, entrepreneurs, podcasters, artists, and technologists. We will announce the judges of the first hackathon in the next few days.
These judges will be voting based on which projects they like the most.
Every project on the FindCollabs site before 11:59 PM PST on Saturday March 16th will be entered to win the contest.
