Place to find collaborators for a creative project?

Question

Is there a social networking site to find partners and collaborators for a creative project?

I know craigslist.com can be good for arranging collaborations, but I'm looking for something more integrated than a collection of classifieds.

Answer 1

Depending on what you are looking for, there are several options:

For creative, you can use:

• logotournament
• sortfolio (listing of designers)
• 99designs
• crowdSPRING

Finding Partners and Founders:

• techcofounder
• Cofoundr

^^ This may be the closest match to what you are looking for ^^

Another good resource to find programmers is HackerNews

I would also recommend Meetup and try to meet people, locally.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

99designs and crowdSPRING are crowdsourced design competition sites which may provide sources of collaborators.

Answer 5

Since this is about web applications, I presume you mean places on the web :) I'd go and hunt at the following places:

• github.com
• code.google.com/hosting/
• sourceforge.net
• ohloh.net
• freshmeat.net

All of these sites have the ability to find projects and therefore also the ability to contact other people. If you think your project has a synergy with something else, then it can't hurt to contact them and see if they might be interested.

But please note, it's also worth checking out each of those projects other communication channels, such as irc, email lists and forums. It's better to know people prior to pitching your idea than it is just pitching it from a void :)

Good luck!

How 'bout KickStarter ?

This is an online platform that enables just about anyone to raise funding from interested individuals. Basically, Kickstarter took what Sellaband is all about and applied it to a wider variety of projects, i.e. not only to discover and fund upcoming bands but anyone who does something creative (think designers, musicians, filmmakers, writers, etc.).

You should check out TalentBlend It's aimed at creative skills / people mostly but it caters for a wide variety of disciplines.

TalentBlend is a creative exchange to connect with exactly who you need to make your idea happen. It's about people helping people to achieve their goals.
