Genius Crowds is a community platform that allows members to submit product ideas, provide feedback on other members' ideas, and vote on the best ideas. If an idea is selected, Genius Crowds will develop a prototype and the member who submitted the idea will earn royalties if the product is successful. The process involves members submitting an idea, getting feedback from the community to improve the idea, community voting to select the best ideas, experts reviewing the top ideas and selecting ones to develop, and the winner earning profits if the product is made and sold. The community aims to harness creativity and help innovative product ideas become realities.
