The Hive Business Garden: where projects can be publically displayed, nourished, cultivated, and pruned to help them reach their full potential
I decided that I wanted to create a new community on Hive after reading a post by @acidyo about the large number of valueless and smaller number of valuable tokens on Hive-Engine.
I thought the name was important as it would be symbolic of the intent or purpose of the community. And at first I thought of the name Hive Garden, which defined the purpose of the community well. But the name seems to dainty for me. It could be my Y chromosome and testosterone level or it could be that I am not talking about tomatoes or eggplant, but instead businesses, so I changed the name to Hive Business Garden, but possible alternative names include Hive Business Incubator and I gave some thought to it just being The Incubator, that’s still being mulled over in my mind.

The derivation of the name.
Definition: Garden.
- The common or scientific definition:
A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the cultivation, display, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.
source
- My definition:
- A planned place for the display and cultivation of business projects on Hive. Specifically where ideas can be listed for recognition and potentially be made better by feedback.*
An essential function in my mind;
- A place where projects can be publically listed, so that the Hive Community knows they exist.*
The last definition or purpose is the risky one, as any such collection could also include scam projects. But in a truly decentralized society it should be left to the community to decide the value of projects, not a listor or provider of a venue for the exchange of ideas. But deferring to the basic Hive Community limits in the Hive Whitepaper, as the Garden would exist on Hive, and thus be subject to it's rules.
The Hive Business Garden: a place for recognition and cultivation: a place to grow.
First, organization of the list
- The goal of course would be an unbiased, decentralized listing of projects here.
Admittantly centralized initally, in that one or more persons from a small group would be responsible for it. But decentralized in intent, as no restrictions beyond the basic ones embraced by the Hive community whitepaper would be employed. But I think this form of centralization can be overcome by technology which allows users to input company names, and retrospective pruning of spam names can be done by humans or technology.
The arrangement of the list would be some basic organization on purpose to remove judgement; such as the list would simply be alphabetized. I thought briefly about listing by age, as that would be simpler; as I would add things as they requested a listing. But that would make navigating the index a nightmare over time, so I think the alphabetized version would be the most efficient, as a search tool
The idea is that the crucible would be a community where people post about their businesses, and the pinned post would be a listing of all the businesses and projects who posted in the crucible.
Second, the goal or purpose
- The second goal or idea behind The Garden would be a place where the community could give business creators feedback.
- The first function, to let the community know the business exuists is important, as it provides a commonly known place for people to go and learn about the huge number of buinesses on Hive.
- The second function is also integral, as it provides a place where the accumulative wisdom of the community can be focused on a single business or a set number of buinesses each day.
- I am currently thinking that each day, a post would be published with a list of 3-5 busineses, and a brief synopsis written by the creator with links for more information, but detailed enough that community members could provide meaningful feedback.
- This would be based on submission, as each business could submit a synopsis of 200-400 words.
- This synopsis could be two parts, first a brief introduction and second a brief explanation of the business strategy or a brief explanation of token economics. Both coould include links, but must provide backlinks back to the community.
- So people can give feedback on what the business owner sees as a crucial strategy for their success.
- And the community could point out things the business developer may have missed.
- In two words, the Business Garden would provide recognition and feedback, to help cultivate Hive businesses.

I think this would be perfect for the build during the bear we have all been rallying behind.
I opened up a redbubble shop last night and created some art - work. I would love a group of Business Gardeners to help me share my work, and give me some growth suggestions.
Here is the shop:

Just in case anyone is ready to start helping with the growth suggestions :)

You're referring to business opportunities on Hive, right? Hivelist and Hive Hustlers come to mind since they were formed to provide a marketplace for goods and services offered by Hivers for Hivers. If you're referring to people doing business on Hive who need recognition, the Hive Business Garden would be a good place to be listed.

Thank you, I am unfamiliar with those entities.
Are they at @hivelists and @hivehuslers?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We may be talking the same people. I was talking about the front-ends, you were talking about the creators of the tokens. The info widget at Tribaldex or Hive Engine for each token can confirm both sets of data.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes your right. I was interested in projects and helping them get recognition and feedback, so they cann grow and evolve
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For those businesses or ventures which have their own tokens, one place to find them is Hive Engine via the info widget for each token. Another source is Hive Projects thanks to the front-ends they use.
Not every business will have its own token or even its own front-end, so finding these businesses can be tricky. This will describe most businesses. If anything, it may be easier for them to find you.

Well, I guess right now, the options are limited. There are communities like hivehustlers, hivelist and ctp that people can use for business related stuff.

I hope to build something more then a list, but a place for ideas and engagement. The speciality of leofinance.

Hello, there's a website that is gathering HE token information with the hope of being the coingecko of HIVE. There's no option to leave feedback but there is extra information shown and descriptions of what each token does. I think they are cherry-picking the best tokens are at least only active tokens.
https://hiveland.live/
Your idea is interesting. I think not only having a place where people can ask questions are leave feedback is important but what I'd be more interested in is the idea of having people pitch ideas. I smell some VC investing and helping people grow projects out or helping to get them started.
I saw this post the other day. I was going to make a reply with a few charts of my projects but I thought, why waste the time?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with this idea:
I think I want to create the Community and then the Community will use the ingormation to provide feedback, plus if people are impressed with projects they will want to provide time, money or attention through engagement.
It’s an idea which could take on a life of its own.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am still excited about the idea. I am waiting to here froom Leofinance. I want to wait about a week because I know they are busy. Khal said to out a icket in during the AM, so I did, and I DM Khal too.
Now just waiting.

I'd love to interview some business folks on HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think that wouldbe an interesting part of this project, if your game I will post the interviews and make you the beneficiary and note you are the author, or you can publish the interview, use the community tag and it will autopost in the community
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, I'm really interested in helping out. I think we can try both and figure out which works best for us. Check out some of my video clips so you can get a feel for my production style.

Okay, I will do that.

Very good and detailed agenda, you have set yourself a lot of goals! Good luck with the project 🌝

Now the excution!
That's always the hard part. :(
But once you get started it starts to do itself! :)

Thank you for the compliment:

I think it's a great idea. Once everything is polished out, It could be a hub for businesses on Hive. Any business could list who they are and what they do. There has to be some standards too, like some rules to match before listing your business, this helps create some barrier of entry filtering out the non serious ones.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, I did envision that one day it would serve a useful purpose for all of Hive.
I like to dream that I will make useful things, whose utility spreads by word of mouth!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it definitely could become one. That's the ultimate dream, creating simple yet valuable things that can easily sell themselves.
