Cross-Crowdsourcing | Artists, Entrepreneurs and Flying Machines

What the hell is Cross-Crowdsourcing pollination I hear you ask! Let me explain…Becoming a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer demands super-duper dedication. It is the dying art and renaissance dream of the polymath. Leonardo Da Vinci, known to practise all these disciplines, drew success and legacy by opening himself up to mind-popping diversity. All the disciplines benefited as his practise in one  informed the others. So why not use our focused Crowdsourcing agency as our polymath platform.

At the creative Crowdsourcing agency, blur Group, we are opening new possibilities by cross-pollinating  artists with entrepreneurs. We believe success, innovation & exciting forms of production will materialise by fusing ideas and knowledge from different expertise. Artists from our art community at b-uncut now have access to a leading 7 stage, 49 phase start-up system and innovation methodology already practised by many entrepreneurs. The program was created by artist, innovatr and entrepreneur Philip Letts as a foundation of blur Group’s Crowdsourced entrepreneurial network, Innovatrs. Each b-uncut artist can now join this entrepreneurial network for free and learn, share, collaborate & integrate.

We know artists and entrepreneurs share many complementary assets. Look at the founder/photographer Philip! Creativity, self-belief, dynamism, a gun ho attitude and ‘occasionally’ a short attention span are all common threads. Every artist is an impresario who pushes boundaries of thought and thrives in the unknown. Conversely an entrepreneur understands commercial limits but creatively deals out his cards. Artists offer the start-up off the wall creativity, the stuff dreams are made of and the collaboration is balanced with grounded, focused realisms. Generally speaking, the most successful entrepreneurs and artists have a balance of “out of the box” and “feet on the ground”. Depending which you are, you’ll tip more one way than the other.

Emerging artists and start-ups alike can contribute incredibly to one other and both flourish on the edge. Both confront risk and uncertainty with determination and faith in their pursuit. And both are open to “different” thinking and versed in creativity. Developing your art studio into a profit making engine requires fundamental learning in many areas of business from creation and sales and sadly to the boring books of accountancy before the tax man comes-a-knockin’. Exploiting our successful crowdsourcing model we are now pairing our community of artists with our network of entrepreneurs to catalyse the creative age. And this friends is C-C-P.
