Featurepreneur is similar to freelancer but only Machine Learning and Data enthusiast can work on it. Unlike freelancer websites, Featurepreneur doesn't focus on money but volunteer work.
Also, volunteers can propose a feature for your product by assessing your existing features. So, you don't need to spend much time on writing a new requirement which needed for your audience. Your volunteers might have done it properly. You should just take 'em if you like and give some Tact coins (like Google credits) and a recommendation letter.
However, employers can chip out some money if they like the feature they got from the ML Engineers. Also, employers can give recommendation letters to the volunteers after the proper delivery.
How can I use Feature Shop?
Just sign up, login and start sharing your ML requirements in the feature requirements section.
By default signup, you will have some Tact Coins (like credits in Google) given by Featurepreneur admin. You can assign some coins for each of your ML requirements. However, issuing Tact coins is not mandatory. You can get the feature done by not spending a single penny.
If you like the feature, you can issue coins if you like it. Or you can give them a recommendation letter. We will give some recommendation letter templates for you to issue letters.
Is it only ML Requirements?
Yes, your requirements should have at least 20% Machine Learning involved.
How do I get the final product?
You wil get the code from the volunteers once they are done. Also, the volunteers will show you how to use the app (including demo video) or the API.
If it is only the API, you will have a proper documentation from the volunteers.
What is Tact Coin?
It is similar to Google credits (or game credits) where we can offer you during the first sign up. You can start issuing those coins for whoever finished the requirements.
If you like our process, you can start purchasing more Tact Coins from in the market place. You can email us at the moment to get more coins. Also, we will give away Tact coins during the festival seasons and special occasions.
Should I own my company to be eligible as an employer?
No! You can be an employee in a company or running a restaurant and looking for small analytics help or prediction help where you can impress your manament/senior official. You don't need to share any of your details and keep your profile complete anonymous.

I am not an employer. Can I give requirements?
Yes, you don't need be an employer to share the requirements and get the work done. As long as your requirements are based on Machine Learning, it should be okay.
Who are those volunteers?
