Which Quora users would be good to invite to a Q&A crowd-sourcing experiment on entrepreneurship, hoping to replace a single mentor with the crowd, and creating a dialog using follow-up questions?
-
To be clear, this experiment will be conducted on Quora, and and we hope that many users will be interested in trying to start a group utilizing Quora's features and based around a series of questions. The steps involved will be, announcing the group creation, and then answering and asking ongoing follow up questions about our startup, to create a dialog with the (awesome) group. The experiment is replacing a single mentor with a crowd, its all about mentorship through Q&A and experimenting with Quora. edit: The Q&A dialog is about the startup that I am co-founder of. We are building a platform meant to empower entrepreneurs (social and otherwise), innovators and teams with collaboration tools, while also letting them collaborate with other teams and individuals on the network. I believe that the main topic of this experiment would be startup advice and iterating on our concept. To be transparent: I am trying to open up this dialog because I feel very strongly that people need a platform to grow the ideas that can change the world. Hopefully this can help us avoid pitfalls, find opportunity, and in the end, help people.

Answer:
It depends on the topic discussed. Q&A about what? Dressmaking? Sports cars? Watches? Autism? The best Quora users are the ones most passionate about the topic being discussed. Please let us know what topic it is that would be subject to the Q&A; the more narrow the topic, the more likely you'll get productive answers. In response to edit: I see you want to create a separate Q&A platform unique to your start-up. I don't see this working, because there is no incentive for participants to limit themselves to your platform when the same question can be asked on Quora, where the answers can then benefit analogous start ups. The most likely participants on your platform are your product users, your early adopters, but I don't see the general Quora population participating. Why would you not want to post your start-up questions on Quora?

I apologize for the miscommunication, but I *will* be using quora for this experiment. I consider it an experiment because there aren't any groups which follow a chain of follow up questions as a team, Im trying to test the concept :)

Why not create a topic and then kick start it with a question to get the ball rolling, and keep feeding the topic further with questions as the topic develops.
