Reason to Be a Solver: Put Your Ideas Into the World

On Global Crowd we are proud to be publishing our #ReasonsToBeASolver series! Across a series of blog posts, we are investigating the best reasons to become a Solver and put your mind to work in a challenge. Whether you're already an experienced Solver or just thinking about getting involved in innovation, this series will be full of advice and helpful hints!

Innovation challenges are focused on crowdsourcing and finding ideas from unexpected sources. It gives you the opportunity to bring your best ideas to life, even if you aren't working in the specific field or industry the challenge is focused on. Often this is where the most successful ideas can come from! Putting your ideas out into the world is such a satisfying experience and many challenges give you the opportunity to build skills such as presenting and writing as you bring your idea to others.

Here are some more insights from Solvers about the benefits of participating in challenges:⁠

"As others solvers have said, the money is great, but the real excitement is in the feeling of having contributed something useful that other people value."

"Solving these challenges gives me immense satisfaction and provides me with a chance to get my ideas out to the global community."

"I love gaining practical knowledge about real life problems, and realizing that the MY solution will be used in a practical application."

"Nobody disagrees that money is important, but what may be even more important to me is the thrill of knowing that it was my idea. All successful solvers can relate to the extraordinary feeling of having succeeded."
