F.A.Q.
- What kinds of ideas are you looking for?^
We're open to almost anything β businesses, services, products, apps, software, solutions to real problems, and creative new opportunities. The more real-world pain it solves (and the more practical or scalable it is), the better.
- How will I know if my idea gets picked?^
If we decide to move forward with building your idea, we'll reach out to you directly using the contact information you provide during your Idea Box session. We'll keep you updated though every step of the progress.
- What percentage of ownership would I get if my idea is used?^
If your idea is selected and built into a real business, you'll receive guaranteed equity, depending on the scope, impact, and involvement needed. Full details will be discussed if your idea is chosen.
- Is my idea protected if I share it?^
We record and document every submission for transparency and proof of your contribution. If we use your idea, you'll be formally acknowledged and legally included as an equity holder. You will not lose rights to your idea without agreement.
- Do I need to build the business or do any work afterward?^
Nope! You are not obligated to build or manage anything β unless you want to! The Idea Box is about capturing ideas. If your idea is chosen, our team will handle execution. You simply share your idea and, if it's developed, share in the ownership.
