# About Bay of Ideas

Bay of Ideas is 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.

## What this is

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. Every one of them can become more than a thought, and none of them will if they stay in one person's head.

## How it works

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.** List what you are good at and let the ideas that need it find you.
- **Groups keep it together.** You, your organisation or your company can group the ideas that are only relevant to you.

## Why

Ask around and the reasons ideas never become anything 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.

Our mission is to bring every idea to life, by attracting and engaging more people around each one.
