If you haven’t heard, Google is funding ideas that could impact or change the world. We felt this would be a great opportunity to submit our idea to Google as it can impact millions of American in numerous ways. Below is a brief summary of what was submitted.
Title: 760,000 jobs lost. Bidwilly, a free social marketplace allowing average Americans to compete for consumer jobs, creates 10 to the 100th.
Summary:
The purpose for my idea is to create a new business ecosystem where every single American has an equal opportunity at the American Dream. My idea is called BidWilly.
Bidwilly(BW) will be the 1st free social marketplace that allows all local businesses, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and unemployed workers to compete for consumer jobs in an ecosystem that enables open bidding wars. Bidding wars, named Bidding 2.0, is a strategy that allows bidders to view the responses of others in order to drive “real” competition. Business Professionals(BPs) may assign themselves to any of 1200 service categories with the ability to suggest new categories, creating new markets and opportunities never once thought of. The social aspect of BW allows consumers to very easily invite bidders based on people their friends have chosen in the past, profiles they have saved, or through local search. Search results will display the BPs profile photo, information on the professional, work portfolio, customer ratings, reviews, and a B2C network(a social network of customers served) before inviting BPs to bid.
The optimal outcome will create millions of entrepreneurs and registered small businesses. Unemployment rates will hit an all time low. More families will be able to stay in there homes. High schoolers will have a marketplace to begin a trade or become freelancers. People will strive to maintain good karma in the community. Lower crime rates due to lower concentrations of poverty. The list goes on as I really believe this would change America, and even the world, as we know.
