2. Start Up Suriname
9 out of 10 starts ups in Suriname no longer exist after 5 years
75% of young entrepreneurs struggle with raising funds for their start up

3. From problem to opportunity
In 2015
● Young Entrepreneurs can’t get funded because traditional funders don’t
understand their idea
● The ideas aren’t properly tested or prototyped for an audience
But
● Crowdsourcing for products and services in the way to go
● There is more funding available than ever before for untested products and
services

4. What do we do different?
Working together with:
Developers who are Hackaton Winners and CANTO competers
International Crowdfunding Platforms
To deliver:
A Social Media App focused on Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding

5. How it works
● It’s a Social Media network first, a collaboration platform second. Focus on a
community with a goal
● It has incentives for creative ideas
● It focuses on matching the right people at the right time in the right place
● There is a direct link to funding

6. How do we make money?
● Traffic is (not) everything
● Crowdsourcing Advertising
● Crowdfunding Fee

7. Going Online
● January 2016 > Inspire Campaign for Content, Premium Accounts, Influencers
