We recently interviewed Eran Eyal, a crowdsourcing entrepreneur and founder of Evly.com. Eran and the Evly team launched Evly.com as a culmination of their aspiration to create a software platform that would let anyone build a crowdsourcing or crowdfunding website, quickly and easily.

Most importantly to point out at this stage is that it is not something particularly new – humans have been doing it since we were Nomads who came together to achieve goals tacit to our basic needs of survival and adaptability. This is just technology catching up with one of our most basic and natural tendencies as a species. Tribes formed to solve problems – not for banter.” Enjoy the transcript of our interview which shares insight into crowdsourcing and entrepreneurship. Continue reading →
