So you’ve got this great little tech start-up, which you know could be the next big thing, if only you could get some financial backing. But, while you’re great at making your tool, you’re not so great at perfecting that business plan which you need to get in front of some Venture Capitalists. Then you realize, you don’t know any Venture Capitalists…

What’s a young entrepreneur to do?

Do you try to get on one of those reality shows, like Shark Tank or Bank of Hollywood? Even if you can make it through the first round of producers, who think you’re entertaining enough for television, they may take one look at your idea and think it’s good, but then look at your business plan, and say, no way.  Only two kinds of people make it on those shows, the great ones, and the ones they’re going to shoot down in flames.

A better idea, is to come along to the Idea Xchange and see what the Idea Finishing School can do for you. There’s no cameras, no production staff. No audience waiting to see you cry when you’re told no. Just a group of people who want to help you get that business plan perfected, so they can then take you to meet those Angels you’re dreaming of, the Venture Capitalists.

Yes, that’s the whole idea of the Idea Finishing School. To make you look pretty and then introduce you to the people with the big money. After all, what’s the point of a great business plan if you don’t have anyone to show it to? The Idea Finishing School has sixteen VC’s all looking for new start-ups to invest in. 16! That’s a lot. That’s better than one bank manager, or a couple of friends, or your 10 cousins….

So, if you think you have the next big thing, then come along to the next Idea Xchange and see what the Idea Finishing School is all about. It’s kinda like the Open House Day they have at College, only better.
