You pitch your idea to us and we will provide feedback on whether it is worth pursuing and the potential routes of doing so
THE IMAGINATION INCENTIVE
WHAT IS THE IMAGINATION INCENTIVE
We want to encourage entrepreneurial people to join Bottled Imagination. Giving people the opportunity to pursue their ideas is important to us.
Not everyone has the financial capability or time to be able to do so, which means thousands of ideas never see the light of day
A few times a year we offer staff members a small financial package to be able to test their idea. We will offer full support, training and anything else needed for them to be able to see whether their idea is one worth pursuing for them.
We are now expanding The Imagination Incentive out to the public!
If you have an idea but not the financial means to test your idea, you can apply for the imagination incentive below.
Deadline for 2024 applications is June 30th.
