Symbiosis extends the capacities of your organization's core team by providing a curated hub of infrastructure and professionals governed by DAO principles
Inspiration
As famously put by Marc Andreessen over 10 years ago, **"software is eating the world"**, and many individuals and organizations are still struggling to adapt to the pace of changing technology. Adding fuel to this fire is a life post-pandemic, which has accelerated digital adoption for almost _all_ businesses to survive and remain viable enterprises. Simultaneously, the ever changing work place landscape asks for new models for the future of work to address the key skill shortages of specialized technical resources and the desire for flexible, global, equitable and sustainable work has made it extremely difficult for organizations and individuals to navigate.
What it does
Symbiosis curates the infrastructure and people required by organizations at _any_ level of maturity in a reliable, transparent and accountable fashion through the creation of a workplace community that secures the future.
Task Disaggregation
Business requirements are disaggregated into "units of work", or tasks, which are then optimally matched with specialized technical resources most suited to deliver results.
Hire a team instead of an individual: operative work/projects are divided into "units of work" so each worker belongs to a team and is equitably compensation for delivery and quality.
Fair Employment
Business requirements are disaggregated into "units of work", or tasks, which are then optimally matched with specialized technical resources most suited to deliver results.
Hire a team instead of an individual: operative work/projects are divided into "units of work" so each worker belongs to a team and is equitably compensation for delivery and quality.
Accountability
Completed "units of work" are tracked on Hashgraph using Hedera, creating a profile of past achievements that can be relied upon for future allocation of work and equitable compensation.
Sustainable workplace community
Benefit from more than just your work: all workers are also investors. Belonging to the Symbiosis community means fair employment and an opportunity to benefit from a growing community that includes investment opportunities through investing in organisations and projects, sharing of risk and equity, options of different types of membership and commitment.
How we built it
1. Symbiosis NFT with utilities depending on type of membership.
2. Ledger to manage "units of work" and payments
3. Potential coins to spend in the community
Challenges we ran into
-Lack of time to create more code, but we grew as a team throughout the hackathon.
-Being a multidisciplinary team is a value but also a challenge
-Availability. Run our daily work looking for time to invest in our project. We are our first customer, we are piloting our project running our projects. Startups require the flexibility that Symbiosis offers.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-We test the model that we are proposing with our team in this project. We achieve the stage to expose the key questions, strengths, and weaknesses. The team is more clear regarding the next natural steps.
