Companies don't have ideas. People do.

What do you get when idea generation meets fund raising?

"I've created opportunity to generate fresh ideas,develop solutions and fund raise for communities & charities." Brendan O'Keefe (Founder)

In the spirit of other sponsored marathon fundraising events such as MS Readathon, Spellathonsand Walkathons, the ideathon enables organisations to engage a wider audience in a fund-raising campaign with a twist.

Are you having troublehatching new ideas?

Are your stuck for new ways to move forward?

Are you tapping into the intellectual capital of your employees and customers?

The wisdom and imagination of the crowd is easy to source in the digital age... sure go ahead and ask the experts but don't forget to ask the crowd.

Everyone has a good idea, give them an opportunity to shout it out, and tell the world.

Their solution could make a real difference.
