Human Capital Trading Platform

A platform (humanip0.app) that allows people to "IPO" themselves by selling shares of their future time, creating a marketplace where people can trade and redeem these time commitments.

Core Concept

• Users can "go public" with their time by getting a personal stock ticker
• Can auction off up to 500 hours of their time at a set price
• Buyers can either:
  • Hold the time shares and trade them later at a higher price
  • Redeem them for actual time with the person

Implementation Details

• People can sell blocks of time (e.g., 100 hours)
• Pricing example: $250/hour rate sold in shares at $25 each
• Time can be used for consulting, design work, programming, or other services

Key Challenges Identified

• Fulfillment risk - sellers may not honor all their time commitments
• Similar to existing expert networks/consulting platforms like Clarity.fm
• More interesting variant would be selling shares of future earnings instead of time

Market Position

• Innovative spin on expert networks and consulting
• Appeals to people wanting to bet on others' future value
• Described as "art project-like" - interesting concept but logistically challenging
• Similar to personal coins/ICOs in crypto world but without the blockchain element
