Imagine you’re just starting a project. You have an problem you want to solve, but you’re unfamiliar with the landscape.
Rather than feel lost as you slide down internet rabbit holes, what if you had five experts all in the room with you. You got five minutes with each of them. One minute to pitch, and four minutes to hear them fire off a long list of organizations you should look into and the hidden opportunities in the market.
The experts aren’t coming from a place of “your idea will never work because x,y,z.” They’re coming from a place of, “we want this to work, here’s what people have tried, here’s how you might improve upon what’s out there.”
What better way to kickstart a project? An immediate understanding of what’s out there. A long list of organizations to read about, talk to and collaborate with. There’s no use in reinventing the wheel, so you might as well know which wheels are out there in the first place.
