And by using blockchain technology they are creating a space that provides creators with transparency and allows them to build trust regarding the management of their intellectual property. Many creators are often constrained in their ability to collaborate or discuss their ideas with third parties, may that be, for instance, for lack of access to parties that may be interested in their ideas or fear or legal missteps. Big Idea solves this problem by allowing a creator to collaborate, co-create ideas and manage ownership safely. Another service that Big Idea brings to the table are an array of monetization options for creators. Under the platform a creator can license, sell, explore crowdfunding, or create alternative revenue streams that fit their needs. Generally, Big Idea has a vision that is committed to innovation, collaboration and the belief that ideas can be shared in a safe and efficient manner with the use of emerging technologies such as blockchain, AI and IoT. It’s an intriguing vision led by focused and talented co-founders."}],"relationships":[{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:2833852","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/Nhecker"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_team_member","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:2834377","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/jaridarnold"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_featured_investor","target_entity_id":"wefunder:user:4158238","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/werner.lehfellner"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_recent_update","target_entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:169856","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/feed/169856"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_recent_update","target_entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:168087","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/feed/168087"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_recent_update","target_entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:167584","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/feed/167584"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_recent_update","target_entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:167184","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/feed/167184"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_recent_update","target_entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:164587","target_url":"https://wefunder.com/feed/164587"},{"source_entity_id":"wefunder:company:130908","relation":"has_latest_fundraise","target_entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:80264"}],"faq":[{"question":"Exit plan?","answer":"Our primary focus right now is on building and growing Big Idea to its fullest potential.
