Why publish your idea on Geentoo?
Geentoo is much more than a simple bulletin board. It's a network of ideas that offers:
Automatic matching: The platform uses intelligent algorithms to connect your idea with qualified professionals who align with your needs. This saves you valuable time in the manual search for collaborators.
Free access: Geentoo is completely free, making it accessible to everyone, from startups with limited budgets to charity initiatives and personal projects.
Broad audience: The platform caters to a diverse audience, including startup founders, semi-professionals, volunteers, and individuals with recreational interests.
How to publish your project
Follow these steps to create a compelling project pitch and attract the right team.
Step 1: Register
If you haven't already, visit www.geentoo.com and create your account. Fill out the form carefully, including a description of yourself, your experience, and your ambitions. Clear and truthful information will increase trust in you and give you a better chance of participating in projects or being contacted by potential collaborators.
Step 2: Project creation
Once you've logged in, look for the "Create new project" option. This will take you to the project submission form.
Step 3: Write a catchy title for your project
The title is the first thing potential collaborators will see. It needs to be clear, concise, and intriguing.
Be specific: Instead of "New App," try "Mobile app for personal finance management" or if you already have a name for your project, even better, differentiate yourself from the crowd.
Highlight the value: "Innovative e-learning platform for future skills."
Use potential keywords: Think about what your potential collaborators would search for.
Step 4: Describe your idea in a detailed and engaging way
This is the crucial part. A clear and engaging presentation can determine your success in finding collaborators or co-founders. Present the general framework and purpose of the project, as for fundamental details like monetization or other sensitive data, you can deal with those after making contact with potential collaborators and signing an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). You can start with several points and explain:
The problem you solve: Begin by clearly explaining the problem your idea aims to solve. What is the "pain point" for your target audience?
Your solution: Describe your idea in detail. How does it work? What are its main features? Be concise but exhaustive.
The long-term vision: Where do you see the project in 1, 3, or 5 years? Sharing your long-term vision can inspire collaborators.
Your role: Explain what your current role in the project is and what you have already done. This shows initiative and commitment.
Step 5: Start searching for a team
Open the "create team" section within the project itself, and define the necessary skills and roles in the section. Be extremely specific about the skills and roles you are looking for. This will help the Geentoo matching algorithm find the most suitable candidates and attract the right people. Once you have completed the description, you can save and start the automatic matching system.
Examples of roles: Developer, UI/UX designer, digital marketing expert, writer, project manager, volunteer, hiking guide, etc.
Specific skills: Instead of "developer," specify "python developer with Django experience" or "UI/UX designer with a figma portfolio."
Required commitment: Indicate whether you are looking for a full-time, part-time, project-based, or volunteer commitment.
Step 6: Add details (if relevant)
Project stage: Indicate whether the project is in the ideation, prototyping, development, or launch phase.
Business model (if applicable): If it's a startup, mention the business model or monetization potential.
Benefits for collaborators: What will collaborators get? (e.g., equity, experience, portfolio building, social impact, fun).
Attachments: If you have a pitch deck, a prototype, or other relevant materials, Geentoo may allow you to attach them to provide additional context.
Logo and images: If you already have them, upload the logo, a cover image, and additional pictures. This will greatly increase visibility, making the page and feed posts more appealing.
Step 7: Review and publish
Before publishing, carefully reread your presentation. Check for typos, clarity, and completeness. Make sure all key information is present and your message is compelling. Once satisfied, click the "publish" button. Your idea will now be visible on the Geentoo platform, and the algorithm will start working for you!
After publishing, maximize engagement
Be responsive: Promptly respond to messages and questions from potential collaborators through the internal messaging system of Geentoo.
Refine your idea: Be open to feedback and new perspectives that community users can bring.
Build relationships: Geentoo is not just for matching, but also for building lasting professional relationships that are open to discussion.
