Mission Statement

We believe in the power of competitions and prizes. Competitions can solve global problems by drawing out a multitude of innovative solutions to one specific problem.

The following five values shape how we run our competitions and how we run our company:

1. Level playing field - When correctly designed, competitions can level the playing field. Our competitions don't favour big business or personal connections as the real world often does.
2. Full service - Having an online platform for hosting competitions does not make us unique, but offering a full-service package including active competition management does. We believe there isn't much point in having access to a competition platform if you don't know how best to use it. That's why we offer our expertise in designing, promoting, running, judging and concluding your competition.
3. Focus on startups and SMEs - Many of the world's creative minds don't work for big companies and many key innovations are developed by startups and SMEs. But without plentiful resources, established networks and a long history of success, innovators often struggle to connect with and instil trust in investors and VCs. We cater our competitions to smaller companies to give them the opportunity to present their ideas and products to targeted investors, the publicity they need to increase credibility and the training and guidance necessary to bring products to market.
4. Focus on innovation - Innovation makes our lives safer and easier. We favour and promote new ideas and creative ways of thinking because these things drive society forward. Innovation is always important, but especially so in the current economic context.
5. Global vision - Competitions can work everywhere, and a problem identified by an Asian company may be best solved by an entrepreneur in Africa. We advertise our competitions worldwide and don't discriminate based on country of origin.
