Imaginary auction shop
Why not a shop with imaginary products and services in it? And you bid the price that you want to pay for that product, you also commit to long term spending on the product, you actually stake money, so if the product is created, you are obligated to pay for it
Getting sustainable products and services into the world is extremely expensive and takes extreme amounts of effort to bring a product into the world. What if we could minimise the risk?
So why not let people vote with their wallets?
You kind of need an MBA and have credentials to be CEO and run a public company.
Most businesses fail, most startups fail, most venture capital is lost, most restaurants fail. There's occasionally a few unicorns that are worth £££ billions but most spend investor money and have losses and no profits. See most restaurant startups and Uber as examples.
So this imaginary website is where marketing professionals create beautiful copy and beautiful imaginary products and services and cost it all. Then people vote how much they're willing to pay for that service.
beautiful, demand signalling.
假裝直到你成功？這讓我想起了生成搜索 的想法，即我們應該生成不存在的產品來滿足搜索需求。投票給他們（產品模型）甚至資助他們不是壞主意。我完全贊成這個。
// 所以這個虛構的網站是營銷專業人士創造美麗的副本和美麗的虛構產品和服務的地方，並且要付出一切。
我認爲，理想情況下，如前一個想法所述，這項工作將是高度自動化的......
對於某些產品（如硬件和機械系統），這應該可以很好地工作。另一方面，有些產品，比如手機，已經變得非常相似，看起來都像圓角的盒子，很難從它們的基本外觀上捕捉到差異。人們按功能或品牌進行搜索。品牌如何成爲產品很奇怪。
Fake it until you make it? This reminds me the idea of generative search, which was a thought that we should generate non-existing products to satisfy search needs. It's not bad idea to vote for them (models of products) and even fund them. I'm all for this.

I think, ideally, as mentioned in the previous idea, this work would be highly automated...
For some products (like hardware and mechanical systems), this should work quite well. On the other hand, some products, like mobile phones had become so similar one to another, that all of them look like boxes with round corners, and it would be rather difficult to capture the differences by their basic appearances. People search by features or brands. It's weird how brands become products.
這個想法讓我想起了衆籌平臺上的一些項目。如果衆籌達到/超過設定的財務目標，他們只會取得/進展到下一階段。如果做不到這一點，資助者就會拿回他們的錢，而項目要麼沒有進展，要麼不得不去其他地方籌集資金。
This idea reminds me of some projects on crowdfunding platforms. They only get made / progress to the next stage if the crowdfunding reaches/surpasses a set financial target. Failing that, the funders get their money back and the project either doesn't progress or has to go elsewhere to raise funds.
