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.
假装直到你成功？这让我想起了生成搜索 的想法，即我们应该生成不存在的产品来满足搜索需求。投票给他们（产品模型）甚至资助他们不是坏主意。我完全赞成这个。
// 所以这个虚构的网站是营销专业人士创造美丽的副本和美丽的虚构产品和服务的地方，并且要付出一切。
我认为，理想情况下，如前一个想法所述，这项工作将是高度自动化的......
对于某些产品（如硬件和机械系统），这应该可以很好地工作。另一方面，有些产品，比如手机，已经变得非常相似，看起来都像圆角的盒子，很难从它们的基本外观上捕捉到差异。人们按功能或品牌进行搜索。品牌如何成为产品很奇怪。
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.
这个想法让我想起了众筹平台上的一些项目。如果众筹达到/超过设定的财务目标，他们只会取得/进展到下一阶段。如果做不到这一点，资助者就会拿回他们的钱，而项目要么没有进展，要么不得不去其他地方筹集资金。
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.
