Cambrian House, a Calgary-based crowdsourcing incubator of sorts, aims to discover and commercialize software concepts by leveraging the wisdom and participation of crowds. With a twist on the true open source model, contributors share in the success of the developed products by earning royalties determined by relative contribution.
They have also launched an idea competition called IdeaWarz. Each month, 16 ideas are selected to compete in the tournament, and each week half the ideas advance and half drop out.

Thanks for the post! We currently have three successful crowdsourced branches: Robinhoodfund.com, Prezzle.com, and GWABS (desktop combat).
We invite anyone and everyone to chip in their ideas to Cambrian House - if the crowd likes it, your idea might end up in IdeaWarz with the chance to win a market test and be built. Who hooo!
…After all, a great idea is only great if you put it into action!
Thanks for the write up on Sharkride!
