How do I post a business idea?
Log in to founderpad and click on the 'Create Idea' button on the top menu bar. The platform will guide you through the simple process of capturing the key information about your idea. In order to achieve the best level of engagement from other users, it is good practice to complete the information fields as fully as possible.
My idea is not performing very well – why?
The first thing to check is how well you have populated the details of your idea. Ideas with minimal detail added or with poor quality content tend to get skipped over when people view them, even if they’re great ideas!The other possibility is that the idea might not be resonating with the community. This might not necessarily mean that the idea is destined to fail but if it’s not getting the same traction as other ideas, there could be something you need to look at. Don’t forget that the purpose of evaluating a business idea is to work out if it is viable so getting some kind of idea that the idea is not landing with people could give you a clue that there is more work to do.
