‘Just for Lunch Networking’ Wins IdeaWarz, Aims to Connect People Face-to-Face
Nov. 30, 2006 – Recognizing that current online professional networking services don’t connect people face-to-face, Cambrian House Inc.’s community collective identified a winning website solution: Just for Lunch Networking. The idea, submitted by one of Cambrian House’s 8,000 community members, was voted the best of 16 competing Internet software ideas in the monthly IdeaWarz tournament.
Just for Lunch Networking will be a networking website aimed at connecting professionals around the world for networking lunches. It will provide more than just contact information and profiles as provided by the popular LinkedIn.com, but will also bring people together to share information and network over lunch, dinner or coffee. Members will meet face-to-face with other professionals, whether they’re looking to change careers, are on a week-long business trip in a new city, and more.
Cambrian House is the first software company to harness the power of the virtual crowd to collaboratively identify new business opportunities, build products, bring them to market and ultimately share in the profits. Each month, the Cambrian House community’s votes identify the top ideas to compete in IdeaWarz to determine the ideas they feel are most viable and profitable. The idea with the most votes receives a market test to determine if the crowd’s intuition was right. If Just for Lunch Networking is taken to market successfully, its creator and all contributors will receive Royalties.
“People all over the globe are sitting on great ideas, but an idea isn’t any good until executed” said Michael J. Sikorsky, Cambrian House CEO. “Cambrian House exists to help people turn their ideas into reality with the participation of crowds. Just for Lunch Networking was a seed planted by an extremely avid community member who goes by the alias ‘techguy.’ We’re confident the idea will grow with the community’s help.”
