There are many ways to approach running an ideathon and we are always open to suggestions.

The model we choose to promote is one that works like this.

Public or private ideathon.

• The company pays for the ideathon and chooses to raise money for a charity
• The charity will make it's employees and stakeholders available to generate ideas for the company
• Corporate employee teams seek sponsors for their ideas created during the ideathon
• Charity employee teams seek sponsors for their ideas created during the ideathon
• *The company may also choose to enlist their teams to brainstorm ideas to benefit the charity
• All the funds raised go directly to the charity

This way the charity pays nothing but also supports the company by enlisting their staff and supporters in the ideathon. We just charge a set fee for matching and hosting the ideathon.

You can take advantage of this awesome opportunity and make contact to explore the possibilities. We have 5 demo ideathons to share with you. Just ask us for a demo and a free consultation. Become an early adopter and make open innovation and philanthropy part of the life blood of your organisation.
