A social network for ideas — built on the belief that what an idea is usually missing is not brilliance, but people. Anyone can post one here, and anyone can offer what it needs.
All ideas are welcome here
Bay of Ideas is a place to share an idea and connect it with other people's key competences. It is built for anyone who has thought of something but needs help to get it made.
An idea does not have to be original or worked out. It can be brand new, written on a napkin, or nothing more than a wish to open a restaurant with someone. It can equally be a carefully argued research project or something cheerfully unrealistic.
We take all of them, because every one of them can become more than a thought — and none of them will if they stay in one person's head.
Our engine
Underneath the platform is a simple matchmaking job: work out which people have the competences an idea is asking for, and put the two in front of each other.
You choose the depth
Present your idea to the world, to your network, or only to the people connected to it — and change your mind whenever you like.
Or lead with your skills
Rather contribute than lead? List what you are good at and let the ideas that need it find you instead.
Groups keep it together
You, your organisation or your company can group the ideas that are only relevant to you, and keep that conversation in one place.
Too many ideas never become anything
Ask around and the reasons are always the same three: the competence was missing, there was nobody to do it with, or there was never any time. None of those are problems with the idea. They are problems with doing it alone — and that is a problem worth solving.
Bring every idea to life
By attracting and engaging more people around each one. Not every idea deserves a company — but every idea deserves the chance to find out, with people who care about it as much as you do.
