Technology Hunter

Technology Hunters are required to enlist previous knowledge or domain expertise in a material technology field (expertise can be supplanted by healthy curiousity). On a weekly basis, hunters submit links to interesting technologies and also provide information on how the item would impact existing consumer product categories.

We understand interesting technologies is an ambiguous statement and provide researchers with examples of previous selections and also common keywords. Understandably, the individual knowledge provided by the hunter is important - a set of blogs, publications, tradeshows, podcasts usually are inherent to successful hunters.

Submissions are not mandated. Once received, our staff reviews the information and determines whether to pursue further information. If this occurs, the hunter is compensated for his/her time. More successful hunters are rewarded accordingly, hopefully producing the incentive to increase contributions.
