- Product Description
- GuruStorms is a brainstorming site that offers a unique crowdsourcing solution: a curated crowd of the best and brightest online experts. Users who need ideas and solutions offer rewards up to $5,000 to gurus in specialized disciplines. These recognized experts offer their best ideas, and the creator of the brainstorm selects the top three to share the "bounty." Access, engagement, and creative discussion with these otherwise inaccessible gurus are key benefits of the site.
- Market Opportunity

McKinsey and Forrester Research forecast robust corporate spending on Web 2.0 software, including online collaboration.
