Abstract

This invention is a Collaborative Funding Engine, Engine, that predicts initial demand for and facilitates the funding of design, research, development, and delivery of products, and outputs. The Engine enables ones, Customers (20), who desire specific Outputs to combine their resources in Collaborative Funding Pools (200) to fund the Outputs by an Output producer, Provider, prior to the Output's creation. The Engine includes a Contingent Purchase Order (300), CPO, system that creates binding obligations on Providers (10) and Customers (20) contingent upon the CFP (200) reaching a specific level, Hurdle Level, of participation by Customers. The Engine includes an optional Relative Value Bidding feature that can allow each Customer (20) in a CFP (200) to determine its own price for the same Output depending upon the Output's relative value to the Customer (20). The collaborative activity of the Engine is stimulated by its Notification Management Module (600), which informs Providers and Customers (20) of activity within the Engine.
