Invent. Build. Level Up.
Whether you’re chasing your first spark of an idea or refining a venture that’s already in motion, you don’t have to do it alone. On our platform, there are two paths for founders and doers—each designed to match your current stage and help you grow.
Option 1: The Launchpad (XP + IGIW Challenge)
This path is for early-stage founders, dreamers, and builders looking to turn ideas into action. Through our Innovation Challenge, Invent the Game, Invite the World, you’ll earn XP as you complete guided prompts, test assumptions, and explore the world of universal design and innovation to create something beyond a STEM fair project or a business plan. It’s low-lift, flexible, and built for progress—no matter your background or bandwidth.
Option 2: The Grey Space – a space built for friction, feedback, and forward motion
The Grey Space is where serious founders go to level up—not just through advice, but by pressure-testing their ideas alongside investor-minded mentors who challenge business models and sharpen strategy.
This is a space for founders tackling real, complex problems that don’t always fit the mold. Whether you’re
- the Underdog trying to fundraise but aren’t getting enough (or any) pitch meetings with investors.
- the Pitcher You’ve managed to pitch, but can’t get investors to commit.
- the Builder quietly laying the groundwork for something smart and fundable.
you’ll dive into deep exploration—confronting blind spots and unboxing business models to shape your venture into something both resilient and investor-attractive, without compromising your vision. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how investors actually think—what they look for in due diligence, how they assess risk, and where their perspectives often diverge.
