Submit your idea
Submit your project idea to the Group
If you have an idea that solves a real problem, tell us about it. We read every submission and contact the people whose ideas we may be able to support.
What we look for
A real problem
A clear problem that people or organisations face today, and that someone is willing to pay to solve.
A clear solution
A practical way to solve it, and a reason why it can work better than what exists.
Committed founders
People who will give the project the time and effort it needs.
Fit with the Group
Ideas close to our areas — business transformation, technology and digital systems, marketing and growth, training, and events — are where we can add the most.
How the Group can support an idea
Depending on the idea and on what is available at the time, support may take one or more of these forms:
- A grant, where a grant programme is open.
- A partnership with the Group or one of its ventures.
- Investment.
- Incubation within the Group’s ventures ecosystem.
- Mentoring from the Group’s team.
Submitting an idea does not commit either side to anything. Any support is agreed in writing first.
