They form into teams to pool their abilities and insights to come up with better solutions. There is a strong motivation for community members to collaborate: outside of the business benefits of extending your network, the cash rewards of $50K-$100K that a winning teams shares provides a great incentive to collaborate. So, it's built around a searchable database of fellow innovators, a social networking infrastructure and teams as the main "unit of activity" if you will. These three things seem to make it much more oriented toward literal collaboration that leverages not just the crowd but also the chemistry of new connections WITHIN the crowd that the system facilitates. Regards, Dan Hi Maggie,

Can you explain how it's different? Thanks, Dan, but unless I’m missing something it looks pretty much the same as the InnoCentive model. Can you explain how it’s different?
