…welcome to the Virtual Garage
• We started by re-imaging the aircraft development process from the ground up.
• The result is not only innovative - it’s a revolution perfectly fit for our Experimental Aviation Association.
• We are an online a community of founders, collaborators and investors with a common interest.
• Each possessing an amazing skill to contribute to the creation of the next innovation in aviation.
• Designbook is a platform that allows you to find and invest in awesome innovations with your talent and time.
• The physical gathering is seen as inefficient and outdated by millennials
• High technology is the norm
• Open source is understood and accepted
• Millennials expect to access communities and collaborate efficiently online
• Complex technical achievements will not be achieved by 200 person Skunk Works teams hidden behind bricks and mortar
Designbook was founded to develop an airplane… because money and an individual’s time was not all of what is needed.
The Problem
The Opportunity• Millennials value community, and creativity in their work
• The definition of community is no longer constrained by geography
• The information technology, and peer-to-peer revolution enable open innovation, tapping a talent pool that is deep and rich
• Designbook enables the efficient formation of a highly skilled and talented team to collaborate on complex technical developments
• Finding and building the team is only part of the answer
• Designbook covers equity, ownership and fundraising, leveraging the new opportunities of alternative finance
• Designbook matches needs with skills and passions
The Solution
• Three user stories:
1. Founder(s) offering license to build plans and “at-cost” kits to collaborators.
2. Founders(s) offering equity to collaborators and investors for a new and innovative aircraft development.
3. Graduating college student finding a path to the aviation community through designbook.
