FAQs for [ASSOCIATES]
How do I get access to a project? Your acceptance into a project is down to the Project Lead inviting you into the project. In order to be eligible you will need to have already qualified as a PAN member by passing AML/KYC and signing the Base NDA that covers all activity within the system. You will then be asked to digitally sign a Project NDA in the same way that you were asked to sign your Base NDA, and become available for the Project Lead to then read you into the project.
This ensures that you are covered by an NDA appropriate to the project before you have access to it, and that the control of such access is in the hands of the Project.
What would I need to do to become an Associate? You can register as an associate through the www.labtoipo.com website where your details are recorded and background experience and knowledge documented. You will need to have deep domain knowledge and/or significant business experience and/or significant financial experience to qualify as an associate. Once registered on the PIPE Associate Network (PAN) you will be matched with specific research projects that are being disclosed to the platform and you will be invited to validate and provide feedback on these, specific projects along with other domain experts.
Where do Associates come from? Associates are people who have risen to a degree of competence within the various technology / business / market areas that cover the projects and disclosures in the system. They join us through the www.labtoipo.com website and we advertise for them from time to time through social media.
Why do you ask for for a declaration of skills and experience? We try to match the skills of an associate to the skill requirements of a project. The closer in depth that the match is, the more likely the associate will be appropriate for the project. We recognise that the taxonomy may not be interpreted the same way by an associate as it is by a project, and that due to the leading edge nature of the projects, they will be creating new taxonomy definitions that no one else may have or even thought of. We can however match from general down to very specific and identify associates who may have appropriate expertise, and may even have to add the new term to their own skill set.
In reviews the degree of match is also a potential weighting factor to the review given.
