Budding Entrepreneur starts search for Dream Team
16/02/10
Over the last 2 years we've received pitches from budding entrepreneurs ranging from fully compiled business plans complete with prototypes and patent applications to 'back of a fag packet' ideas. It's this experience which has led to our 'Dream Team' project.
A great deal of the 'invention' ideas we receive need further development before we can get to the initial funding offering; whether it be building prototypes, applying for intellectual property protection or further research.
We have several partners and associates who can complete this work however it inevitably has a cost associated which is often hard to finance, especially in the current economic climate.
So, to make more ideas a reality, we are putting initial funding in place to develop a small team of engineers, designers, researchers and patent experts to rapidly evaluate the potential of product ideas.
We are now starting to recruit sector experts for this team and are looking for truly bright, innovative, forward thinking people. If you think you may have the experience and drive to work in such a team please, in the first instance, email mike@buddingentreprenur.com .
We are also pulling together an executive oversight board to control the direction of the research. We are looking for experienced, successful entrepreneurs and financial experts to commit half a day a month - in return you can influence some exciting new developments as well as a possibility of an equity stake in the venture as a whole or specific developments. Please email paul@buddingentrepreneur.com to discuss further.
Finally, as ever we want to hear from budding entrepreneurs about your ideas - this is a method where we can rapidly understand the feasibility and fast track the right ideas to market. Please contact us using the standard form or email ideas@buddingentrepreneur.com .
