Hello!

You've landed in the archive of the Cambrian House community. We've kept some pages here for posterity but the community is no longer active. Now we market the technology that made our early crowdsourcing a success.

Can we help you get to Cambrian House the company? – Come on over.

Are you seeking crowdsourcing technology? – Check out Chaordix by Cambrian House.

Thanks for dropping by

Cambrian House Foundation

The Cambrian House Foundation is committed supporting the following three goals:

1) Supporting research projects designed to understand mass collaboration, crowdsourcing and Web 2.0 trends.

Cambrian House is supporting Jay Rosen's New Assignment, an open source journalism project aiming to understand what tools and relationships are required to support the wisdom and participation of crowds in the media and technology industry.

2) Giving access to information and technology to children in developing countries so they can connect to the world to learn, grow and get a competitive start.

The Follow the White Laptop campaign (2006/07) is collecting signatures from tech and business rock stars on a MacBook that will be auctioned off this year to raise funds in support of the Youth for Technology Foundation and One Laptop per Child.

3) Igniting entrepreneurial spirit within the Cambrian House community and the cities we're we live.

We support the Young Entrepreneurs Association, host networking events like Cambrian Lounge and work to create an environment we're people can share ideas, grow and become confident enough to make their own dent in the universe.

The Cambrian House Foundation is based on the 1% payback model:

  • 1% Profits - to a charity of choice
  • 1% Equity - reserved at inception
  • 1% Time- volunteered by employees

We would like to give thanks to Marc Benioff's book Compassionate Capitalism and the folks at SalesForce.com for inspiring our 1% payback model.

Our first donation

To kick off our foundation, we donated $1,000 to the local Mustard Seed.

The Mustard Seed Calgary is a non-profit, humanitarian organization that responds compassionately to the needs of the inner-city's less fortunate.
