What to send

Plain language beats a slide deck. Cover these four things and we’ll have what we need for a first read.

  1. The problem

    Who has it, how they deal with it today, and what it costs them in time, sales or patience.

  2. What exists

    A prototype, a working site, a few customers or only an idea are all fine, as long as you’re clear about which one it is.

  3. About you

    Your background and how close you are to the problem. If you work in the business you’re describing, say so.

  4. How you’d like to work together

    Building it with us, partnering on it or getting help with the software and the marketing. A rough answer is fine.

What happens next

  1. We read it

    Every submission goes to the same place, and we read what arrives ourselves.

  2. We write back if there’s a fit

    If it matches what we look for, we’ll write back to set up a conversation.

  3. We talk

    A first conversation is about understanding the problem and understanding each other. Nothing gets decided in it.

  4. We work out what working together looks like

    If we both want to go further, we talk through what each side would contribute and how we’d begin.

Start in general terms

Describe the idea in general terms in your first note, and we’ll agree how to handle the details before you send them. A short, clear note is easiest to act on.

Ready when you are

The best notes are short, specific and clear about what exists today. The form asks for your details, what you have so far and how you’d like to work with us. For anything that isn’t a new opportunity, the contact page lists the right starting point.

Whether you have an opportunity, want to partner with the group or have a question, pick the form that fits and it reaches the right person.
