Fellowforce.com Invite Experts & Consumers for Open Innovation


AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, June 28 /PRNewswire/ --     Do you want to become a shareholder in a web 2.0 start-up? Come up with
the best tagline and the reward is 1% of the company's shares. This challenge
was posted today by Fellowforce.com on its own platform for open innovation &
problem solving.

From last Friday, experts and enthusiasts can use their problem solving
talent and creativity for organizations worldwide. Fellowforce.com have
launched a platform where organizations can 'ask the world' to reinvent their
businesses. As well as this tagline challenge, a number of international
companies have already posted challenges asking for innovative input and
solutions. Livedouble.com wants a TV-format; SKOEPS.com is looking for
innovative ideas to expand their base of citizen reporters, and Generation
Europe will reward the best diary-cover design. Other featured challenges are
looking for expertise in the areas of HR, Marketing and Strategy.

According to the two founders, Jack Allerts and Ruben Robert, this
initiative is an opportunity for both organizations and world-wide talent.
"Innovation and solutions will come from all over the globe," says Robert.
"An American engineer will deliver the solution to an engineering problem in
a German SME company; a Brazilian enthusiast can submit a new application
idea to Nokia; a Spanish strategy expert will come up with a winning business
model for a Greek dot-com venture.

What's in it for these problem solvers and creators? According to Robert:
"The people who come up with these solutions, who we call fellows,
participate for the opportunity of fun, fame and reward. This is their entrée
ticket to the global innovation arena. Organisations across the globe are
looking for answers. Fellowforce.com provides the opportunity for talented
people to work for thousands of companies, not just one."

Robert adds, "The reward for our tagline challenge is, of course, a
one-time-only opportunity. We need a memorable slogan for our front-page and
so we are inviting the world to pitch their one-liners. The winner will be a
shareholder in our venture and share in our success. Of course this will not
be our last challenge. Open innovation & problem solving is our core
business, and we will practice what we preach."
