Ad-Venture Launch

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be part of the team who founded Google, or Apple, or Facebook? Probably exhilarating, challenging, crazy, busy, frustrating, rewarding and a host of other adjectives. A real adventure.
All these companies have started with an idea someone had. But no-one can do everything on their own. To build something really special, you need other people who can ‘add’ something; their skills, knowledge, advice, or support.
We meet monthly and bring together like-minded students, graduates and entrepreneurs to work together on real life projects. Let’s take an example.
Anthony has an idea for a new App. He’s done his market research, spoken to a mentor, been on ‘Collaborate’ and wants to get started. So, he comes along to an Ad-Venture night to tell people about it. Anthony needs someone who can help him develop the App, build a website, design a logo for him, organise a launch event, take some photographs for a media release, write copy for promotional materials and the web, and so on. Perhaps you could ‘add’ these skills to Anthony’s venture, and work together to create something. You’ve helped Anthony build his business, and you can leave with a fantastic example to talk about in a job interview, or to put on your portfolio.
It’s like a skills exchange. So if you have a business idea, or a skill you can bring to the mix, Ad-Venture is for you. It’s a supportive network of people all there to help make something happen. It’s informal and fluid - we won’t limit your creativity or direction, and there are no rules.
