I’m working in the "Plural" economy with many employment interests.....can I become an Expert with E4E?
YES you can as you are an ideal person in terms of harnessing your variety of skills to match with a Business who may need your help.
-
As an Expert, how much will I be paid and does it have to be in Equity?
Both the value you receive from the Business client and its form is agreed between you both. It can be in equity, financial payment, or for free. Once you have agreed to collaborate, terms are agreed which will be driven by many factors, not least estimating the time that you are committing.
The core premise of the business model is that Businesses will normally offer Equity in return for the Expertise, but if it suits both parties to reach a different solution then that’s fine.
