Hi Irene,
I have responded to Edmunds comment in detailed about the micro-management overhead and challenges in getting lots of part timers to work cohesively to deliver the required output. Using the process outlined and well written functional and technical specifications, we have managed to get it to work better than some of the well funded projects, morestraightforward projects that I have worked on. With the need for new enterprise and jobs higher than every, we're trying to pioneer a solution - to compliment seed funding, startup weekends, crowd funding and other emerging solutions - that if it works, could add a huge amount of value to the whole economy. Having developed the methodology and web based solution over 3 years, we do think that we now have a workable model. Having said that, I'm sure that you and many others may still have reservations, so do please voice them.

What sort of tasks do you envisage these individuals doing? I'd be wary as a startup founder of having too many people working on small tasks - even if payment is deferred. The amount of admin time would be prohibitive. I've always found examples more digestible than statements of intent. Perhaps you could present this as "Bob had an idea for a widget. Steve put in four hours a week on industrial design and Mary three hours a week marketing. Both were on deferred payment of 2x market rates. blah blah ... The company IPOed and now they all have yachts".
