A skill you know, an idea you want to share…

Let’s build together

We want to grow BenBiz through what each of us can bring. Making an app easier, a piece of writing clearer or bringing people around a table… One of these could be a place for us to start.

Let’s find a place that feels right for you.

What could we do together?How do we start?

Sometimes it starts with “I could help with that.”

You do not need to know everything or give all your time. We can start with a skill, a curiosity or a small thing you noticed. Before we begin, let’s discuss the work, the time you have and how your contribution will be recognised or paid.

There may be a part here for you.

These are the areas where different skills and experiences could help. Explore and follow one that feels close to you. These cards are not open calls yet; work with agreed terms appears under “Open now”.

Before any preparation area opens for applications, we will clarify the first task, timing, collaborators and the terms of contribution.

In preparation

ObaNova Living R&D Campus

If you work with soil, water, food or buildings, we would like to hear what you have learned. At ObaNova, we want to explore living in tune with nature through small trials. The location and first trial are still being researched.

Where could we start?

Start with something you know: how could we use less water or care for soil? Share your experience and what we might try on a small scale.

How could I help?

A short proposal grounded in experience and sources, with expert advice or permissions identified where needed.

Let’s start by getting to know each other

We can start with something small.

Tell us what you enjoy, what you have done and where you might help. A small example can introduce you better than a long CV. Some work needs specialist experience; other work can start with a thoughtful eye and a willingness to learn. Each call will make that clear.

Your time and effort matter.

Before we start, let’s discuss what you will do, who you will work with, the time you can offer and the terms. Every call should be clear about paid work, volunteering or partnership.

Read the participation and compensation terms

Applying or being accepted does not automatically create a task, circle membership, voting rights, seller access, pay or a share. Paid work requires an agreed scope and fee before production, with no unpaid trial work. Volunteering carries no promise of future economic rights.

Paid project work: Scope, delivery and fee are agreed before production.
Voluntary contribution: A freely chosen, bounded contribution with no promise of future pay.
Core responsibility: Work, time, responsibilities and any compensation are defined for the particular call.
Occasional expert input: The scope of input is stated; professional services require qualification checks and an agreement.
Mentoring: Work, time, responsibilities and any compensation are defined for the particular call.
Production or business partnership: Authority, risk, responsibilities and terms require a separate agreement.
Institutional collaboration: Authority, risk, responsibilities and terms require a separate agreement.
Local / field support: Work, time, responsibilities and any compensation are defined for the particular call.
Research and co-authorship: Work, time, responsibilities and any compensation are defined for the particular call.
Initial conversation: An initial conversation is not a work agreement.

If you are wondering…

Do I need to be an expert?

Each call is different. Some need professional qualifications, some experience, and some openness to learning. Required and preferred skills are listed separately.

Is the work paid or voluntary?

Every call states its participation mode. If a budget is still being prepared, we say so; that is not a payment promise. You are not expected to begin production before discussing and agreeing the terms.

What happens after I apply?

An authorised coordinator reviews your application and may ask a question or propose a conversation within the same record. The outcome includes a reason. Pending records remain in the coordination queue; there is currently no guaranteed response time.

What if another area is suggested?

You read the other call and choose whether to apply separately. Your application and private information are not automatically transferred to another project.

Can I withdraw?

Yes. Use My applications to withdraw. Any task or agreement already arranged separately is handled through its own process.

Will work be paid in BenAkçe or BenGram?

These calls make no such payment promise. At this stage BenAkçe and BenGram are not pay, spendable balances or ownership of gold.

I have an idea or invention. How should I share it?

If you have an invention or R&D idea, first tell us only what problem it addresses and what kind of collaboration you seek. You do not need to share drawings, formulas or technical secrets. Ownership, use, intellectual property and confidentiality should be agreed before details are exchanged.

Who will see what I write?

Your application is visible only to you and coordinators authorised for that area. Private matching preferences are used only for your own suggestions, not a people directory or advertising. Do not upload identity, banking, tax or confidential technical documents. You can withdraw an application and clear preferences by switching them off. Request deletion within your application or at iletiselim@benbiz.com.tr.
