we don’t see this asgreat news (yet)...and neither do you.

• More ideas to sort through• Similar Ideas more common• Harder to identify great ones / stand out• Inﬂuence is harder to come by• Collaboration has been impeded• Lower probability of being chosen• “it’s not fun”

we agree.

but: we see a clearpath to more notbeing a problem..

to more being astrength...

to more being anopportunity...

to more being fun,but notoverwhelming.

The Vision

• Make The Quirky Process More Valuable For Every Inventor• Develop Ideas That Have Potential For True Innovation• Pick Products That Are More Likely To Be Made

Encourage and reward users for helpingrefine their peers’ ideas. Involve Quirky staffin ideas before selection.

The Path

pre-evalcollaboration.

Eval Influence Breakdown• Eval Project Becomes 60% of overall product influence by default (default is currently 50%)• Inventor’s Share is 70% (42% Overall)• Collaboration Share is 10% (6% Overall)• Comp Shop Share is 5% (3% Overall)• Winning Vote Share is 10% (6% Overall)• Losing Vote Share is 5% (3% Overall)• Collaboration Influence goes to the winning voters if there are no accepted collaborations.
