1.0. Getting involved
^ click picture above for video
After telling NeuroLex’s story many times, I kept running into many outstanding individuals that wanted to be involved in our vision. For a long time, I didn’t really know how best to use our company to enable these individuals, as we obviously had limited resources as a startup company. However, one day I woke up and wondered - “what if we could apply the Wikipedia model to startups, allowing for anyone to come into a company and contribute? What if someone could propose demo project - like proposing a new page or edit an existing page on Wikipedia?”
We thus invented the TRIBE model to engage outstanding individuals with our company in the form of a competition. These outstanding individuals apply here, and, if selected, pick a category to focus their demos (e.g. research, data science, or software). Fellows then are paired with mentors and propose and defend demo projects over the span of 6 months (Figure 10.2.1). The program culminates in a demo day where fellows present their work virtually to our team (at an internal corporate retreat).
