Have: award winning business plan for gamification. Need: smart people willing to bet a lot of time

[Karl Olofsson]

So I joined this forum after reading an article about its founder and hope to find a few people serious enough to start an actual business doing everything from coding a working prototype system to calling possible partner companies to get it off the floor and make it something gamers ask for.

I have a business plan (well an outline anyway) that covers the goals for tech, financing and marketing of my business idea. What I need is you that is passionate enough about entrepreneurship to bet at least 5 years of your life to make an idea become reality. Dreamers need not apply.

Not going to reveal any details right here obviously, but if you are interested please comment with what kind of experience you have and why you want to work on gamification and we might have something interesting about to happen here.

Well well. So I just got an email that this had been posted, hell of a waiting list.

Thought I'd update you a little on the current status of the project:

• Still believe in it, i.e. serious gaming or gaming augmented reality.
• Haven't worked on it in any practical way since I wan the award, pursuing my current career in systems development and consulting has taken all my time and energy. But it also gave me useful skills for projects like this in the future.
• Dreamers, please apply! I think I need to workshop the original idea a lot to find something with prototype-potential. Sort of identify the core of it, a Minimal Viable Product. Which will need inspired discussions and a lot of hard questions.
• Seen some gamification things happening in the market since my idea, but nothing close to what I've invisioned, so this shouldn't be a waste of time or anything.
