Our Mission
In "technical" language, our mission is this: 10EQS aims at dramatically reducing transaction cost of information through connecting clients with experienced professionals in a structured content format for fact finding and problem solving, using innovative crowd solving and mass collaboration techniques on a commercial basis.
But to put it into plain English: we are out to crack traditional knowledge monopolies of closed organizations. In effect we are "democratizing" access to knowledge, making it affordable and available to a much larger audience. We believe that clients should be able to work with everyone that can contribute – without paying large institutional margins. And we believe that anyone who can contribute should have access to matching client problems – without having to go through narrow institutional bottlenecks.
