    When to use
    Useful when members of online groups want to help launch breakthrough ventures
    When not to use
    Not useful when individual tribe members have enough resources
    1. ATTRACTOR - what makes this interesting
    Next Edgers can pledge resources – such as funds, volunteer help, Frequent Flyer miles gifts – to seed gamechanging ventures
    2. CHALLENGE(S) - tensions addressed
    Old policies and institutions are failing, yet innovators are struggling
    3. OPPORTUNITY - vision of achievable change
    • Next Edge innovators overcome startup resource bottlenecks

    • (Some) innovations ease or resolve local and global crises

    • Next Edge "Gift Pool" system gains attention and is adopted by aligned tribes
    4. STRATEGY - proposed steps to make the change
    Preferred strategy

    • Tribe members who opt into the Pool pledge monthly funds or inkind resources. Once each quarter, members vote and choose an admired, well-known figure to disburse the Pool's resources. The assembled resources go to recipients identified by the trusted figure as having breakthrough potential. Recipients deliver monthly progress reports to the tribe in a format designed by the trusted figure.

    Other promising paths:

    • Each Next Edge subgroup votes every month to choose 2-3 people and/or projects showing promise to advance its "track" aims. These are posted on Beex, Kickstarter (or similar inhouse pledge site developed by Next Edge). Each innovator outlines specific reporting/tracking commitments for his or her project in advance. The full Next Edge community reviews and discusses on a Gift Pool wiki. Individuals who have committed to Gift Pool support donate funds or inkind support to specific initiatives of their choosing. Givers then leave feedback ratings based on quality of their recipient's verifiable (by third parties) progress reports and impact measures.


    • Tribe members who commit to a Gift Pool support go to an external or internal pledge site each month and review (unfiltered) profiles by Next Edge innovators. They donate funds or inkind support to specific initiatives of their choosing. Givers then leave feedback ratings based on quality of their recipient's verifiable (by third parties) progress reports and impact measures.

    5. TEST - what stakeholders think of steps
    Acceptance issues (via Facebook poll?):

    • Does our subgroup agree on a draft strategy?
    • Do we want to build an inhouse solution, or try with outside platforms?
    • Do we invite other subgroups to offer candidate projects, people?
    • Are Next Edge founders & widely-admired folks on board with idea?
    • (once introduced tribe-wide) Are tribe members willing to pledge?
    6. DECISION – next action
    Next steps:
    • Compare tribesourcing/Crowd Fund ideas
    • Next weekly conversation explores open issues, moves toward consensus
    Gaps to be filled for this pattern

    Past use
    not many past examples of tribesourcing yet found
    Current use
    not many current examples of tribesourcing yet found
    Future use (links to prediction wagers)
    If someone has a good prediction market, I'll wager something there that a Tribesourcing pledge system will be adopted in Next Edge and at least two other tribes in next 6 months
