Hey!
Samvel, welcome! Awesome initiative…! With the community we paid a great deal of thought trying to answer the question of: what would innovation policy aimed at supporting innovative networked individuals, rather than organizations, look like? - So much so that two of our yearly community events included the issue:
1. At Living on the Edge (LOTE) #1 we came up with an open letter to funders.
2. At LOTE2 we got someone in the European Commission to help us figure out why it’s so hard to fund individuals and more risky approaches, albeit with greater impact if their projects were to succeed, and here’s the most comprehensive output we came with, out of the session: we called it The Policy Hero Challenge
So I guess that yours is a pretty hands on approach which reasonates so much with the way EdgeRyders do stuff: you see a problem, and instead of waiting for others to solve it, you grab it and just do it, with whatever resources (limited) you have at your disposal. You try it, it can work or not, but the experimentation is valuable in itself - and the impact, if there, blows your mind…
