If you have an idea or have already started on a project, GREAT! Here’s how to proceed:
Step 0: Become a YBC member.
Step 1: Fill out this Project Building Form. Wait to hear back from a Project Lead that will be coordinating with you through the ideation process and beyond. Once your idea has been approved and a Project Lead has been assigned to your project idea, you will begin the ideation phase (working closely with your Project Lead).
Name, email, year, major, idea that they have, what they are looking for from YBC (resources, team, etc.), interest in blockchain, set up a meeting (calendly).
1st meeting: idea origin, goal for this project: figure out what their needs are and how YBC can support; do you want this project to be part of YBC portfolio.
leadership- whoever proposes is usually project leads (but confirm)
business viability- invest-ability; is there a need for this project and does that project solve that need
realistic with timeframes, expectation
personality- not exploitative; open communication, sincereness
Step 2: Beginning Ideation - mapping out business plan, product roadmap, and figuring out needs, team members and resources, branding; 3 sentence blurb (what, why, and whatever else)
Step 3: Project Leads will determine if the project is ready to move on past the ideation phase for Project Approval. Projects that are approved will have more access to resources (time, people, opportunities).The process of applying for project approval requires collaboration with Project Leads (See Applying for Project Approval page).
Step 4: Once a project has been approved, it will be made available on the YBC website for VCs, investors, collaborators, and others.
