Idea directory guide
Turn early ideas into useful connections.
Ideas can attract co-founders, mentors, investors, and early feedback before a venture is fully formed.
How it works
A practical path through Ideas.
- Search the idea directory by title, industry, location, or theme.
- Open an idea profile to understand the problem, concept, and support needed.
- Submit your own idea with only the information you are ready to share publicly.
- Use the moderated connection action to contact an ideator through the platform.
For submitters
Information needed to showcase your idea
Describe the opportunity clearly enough for potential co-founders, mentors, investors, and early supporters to understand the idea without exposing sensitive intellectual property.
- Idea title, short description, industry or theme, location, and the current idea stage.
- The problem or unmet need, who experiences it, and why it matters now.
- Your proposed concept or solution, including what makes the approach useful or different.
- The type of support you are seeking, such as co-founder, validation, mentoring, funding, pilot, or technical help.
- Your name and relevant founder context so interested people can understand who is behind the idea.
- Only publish information you are comfortable sharing publicly. Keep trade secrets, unpublished technical details, and sensitive personal data private.
