There are many benefits including trying out something new without jeopardising your career.

Life is not just about making money. Some wants to get involved in exciting things. See where it might leads to.

These are not jobs. Have you never given your time free?

Do you know volunteers help many commercial organisations, from marshalling Formula 1 races to help in running exhibitions, etc?

Volunteer in the UK is defined as someone not gaining financially as well as from a benefit in kind.

Share options and warrants fall under benefit in kind.

What started as a project to rescue our tech startups when Covid 19 hit, we are looking at creating a Volunteer Market Place for tech startups.

Everyone's familiar with UpWork, Fiverr and Freelancer. Their business model is proven.

But what about a similar place where people give their time to help a bootstrapped tech startup?

Do you think this has legs?

We trialled with 20 tech startups and 100 volunteers. All startups are from the UK right now. 90% of volunteers are from UK as well, but there are few from the USA, Sri Lanka and Australia.

Keen to understand whether it's possible to build tech companies, especially pre-investment with employees, contractors and volunteers.

Thanks, Manoj

Thetaboard is also integrated with edocr.com now and should see traffic filtering from us, as more and more people become aware of the benefits Thetaboard brings

Yeap! its taken bit longer than we initially anticipated

I doubt Jon has hit a rough patch - perhaps more like, staying with a friendly tech entrepreneur whilst in town rather than spending another night in a hotel room

It's great to see how far Thetaboard has come since we met them on nReduce. Next stage for us is to see an integration with edocr.com - something to discuss when we welcome them to sunny Manchester, UK on Monday. More info www.techcelerate.org/aug2012

Good analysis Joel. Good to see you blossom into a successful tech entrepreneur (and a famous one now - the north west love you!). www.edocr.com must be one of the few tech companies to had the privilege to work with both OnePage and Buffer, and hopefully whatever you do after Buffer!

I am glad you did not take my advice on Buffer! You saw an opportunity (I didn't see) and went after it.

We should review edocr/buffer integration after we launch Hootsuite app! Will let you know as soon as we go live!

Keep up the good work mate!
