3. What happens to the ideas?
• Putting ideas into action
Creating a new product or service by solving a problem
Establishing a new business, founding a new company
Creating new jobs
www.100tage100Ideen.de
• Forgetting the idea
The idea is lost, problem solving will be forgotten
No business formation, no new jobs
• Unsure about the idea, if it is really a good one
Asking family, friends, colleagues and others
But: Are those people the right people to ask about business ideas?

11. Are you skeptical?
We are aware that
• The ideas are also visible for competitors
• Ideas can not be protected themselves
• The danger exists, that others may be successful with a published idea
• Nobody wants to publish ideas, which have the potential to be the next
www.100tage100Ideen.de
Facebook or Google (this is only a fraction of the ideas!)
However our opinion is that
• On an Open Entrepreneurship platform people will get together who want
to make a difference – here they will seeking ways and promoting change
• On a suitable platform a founding team will be arranged faster
• Long decision-making processes and power play, like in existing companies,
will not occur
• Copying an idea doesn‘t mean that it will be a successful product or service!
A copied idea, does not mean that the other one has success!
... Otherwise our pizza delivery service could not publish its ingredients!

12. When will be Open Entrepreneurship
successfull?
Idealistic goals
• People are more sensitive for ideas in everyday life
• People do not forget their ideas anymore
• People share their ideas with others
www.100tage100Ideen.de
• People discuss more often about ideas and Entrepreneurship
• It promotes entrepreneurial spirit
Economic goals
• People starting a business based on their idea
• People will be encouraged to start their own business
• People are coming together and founding a company together
• People have a job by starting a business and creating new jobs
Creating 3-5 jobs by every idea would be awesome

13. Implementing ideas together!
That is the reason we are saying:
– We need a culture of openness and transparency
– We need people who do not forget their ideas but rather telling others
www.100tage100Ideen.de
about their ideas
– We need a cross-industry platform where idea contributors and
supporters can meet
