The Problem

Background

The beginning of this new decade has brought with it events that are shaking and moving the world as we know it.

We have seen a bustling world economy centered on globalization stop fast in its tracks from a novel virus. We have felt the pain of racism and bigotry that still endures in our society today.

Yet these are not things to fear for the generations to come; rather a chance to correct market errors, human errors, and construct a better future. A chance for us all to do just a little bit more to assist our neighbors, family, and even strangers.

What is abundantly clear in our new decade, and the tumultuous crises that have come with it is this: the world each day moves closer to a new reality of automation, remote work places and changing business landscape.

I’m sure you’re wondering… What is the good news in all of this? Within each crisis, therein lies the answer…

Key insights

The Solution

Overview

Team Time is an online platform to connect businesses and freelancers to one another based on the content and courses they wish to learn, or offer, without the hassle of having to bring someone into a physical workspace or spend hours searching for the content.

Instead, businesses simply fill out a typeform document through our webpage where they tell us exactly what courses or content they wish to learn more about. We then connect them to the appropriate freelance content expert, who conveniently teaches the course in an effective yet casual lunch and learn meeting.

For freelancers it’s a chance to take their area of expertise and provide it to businesses in a convenient manner without having to spend hours searching through different web pages for clients.

Our mission with Team Time is to help you adapt to an uncertain future in entrepreneurship by connecting you with a community of like-minded people who can help you grow your passion. No one is able to reach their goals alone. That's why we’re here. To connect the expert to the enterprise, one lunch and learn at a time.

Key Features

❶  Community = No 1 - Create a supportive community for both businesses and freelancers.

❷  Content discovery - Besides finding the content companies are searching for, they can also discover valuable knowledge they hadn’t thought of.

❸  Weekly newsletter with updates, new content and features.

❹  Endless possibilities for teaching and learning.

MVP Concept

“Concierge MVP”. Before building a platform, automating processes and creating a solution that scales, test this value prop manually a.k.a. Concierge Experiment. Simply, create a typeform to share with businesses so you can capture what info/topics they are after. At the same time, create a community of freelancers with an expertise ready to participate in a lunch and learn with the end goal to gain new clients. Then manually connect both parties. If this is a success and you’re gaining traction -> Now it’s time to build, automate and scale.

Modern Mantra Podcast

Each month we publish 4x podcasts around one of our core design themes, looking at the roots of our modern spiritual imbalance and conceptualizing new ways to use technology to help the world heal.

In our How Might We podcasts, we start with a specific design question, unearth widespread societal pain points, and conceptualize new Design Solutions that can help solve them.

In our Guest podcasts, we talk with conscious founders about their journey building heart-centered technology.

The podcast is hosted by the studio's two founders, Nick Sarafa and Elijah Johnston. Both have extensive backgrounds in all parts technology and entrepreneurship as well as personal healing journeys that involve deep work in spiritual realms.

Design This With Us

If the world is to heal and move towards a place of higher consciousness, we need new solutions. We believe that
Team Time

is one that could help us to get there.

While this is only a concept, with the right team we could bring this to fruition. Enough small pushes like this and we can help usher in a new paradigm for the human family.

If you're a designer, product or tech person, share a similar ethos to ourselves, and see yourself in a potential leadership role, we'd be keen to hear from you. Drop us an email at ryan@modernmantra.co to kick off the conversation.

  • Create healing technology that moves the world forward.

  • Work with a team of heart-centered designers, engineers, innovators, and creatives.

  • Share in the ownership of any venture that we co-design.
