As a general rule, the optimal time to commence your draft strategy for 2024 was back in October…but there is still time, if you commit to making your business strategy a focus over the next few weeks.
With Christmas just around the corner, an increased level of social events and the holiday season upon us you need to be ready to start 2024 off in a strategic way.
Not a day goes by where you don’t read about company X or founder Y raising millions in equity investment for their startup venture or scale stage business.
Every week more ‘Funds’ are announced to support “women, indigenous, early stage, scale stage, sector specific, and there is currently 4,000 grants worth $50B listed on the GrantGuru website.
It can be competitive, confusing and really difficult to navigate and prepare yourself and your venture to attract funding, and we all know how important having sufficient cash is to support growth and scale.
Here at One10 we speak with founders and startups every day about investment, funding, pitching and grants, which is why we have created this specific Masterclass called “Funding Your Venture”.
Sometimes, we need less thought and more action. Here are ten actions you can take to start bringing your idea to life. Find out how One10 team of experts can help you commercialise your idea.
The past year has brought a lot of change to the work environment. The new ideas and changes came in a spur of the moment, but the innovative ideas of online message boards and remote working had been cultivating long before the pandemic.
When people with similar passions such a programming, marketing, or social innovation get together, they can challenge each other and cultivate new ideas or grow existing ones. When one engages with other professionals, it is like working on a team; everyone brings something new to the table. Corporate hackathons enable impact, disruption, and innovation within an industry.

Who would have thought on New Years Eve that 2020 would turn out to be like it has been!
Not to let a pandemic get in the way of our purpose, our founder, Geoff Gourley and the team at One10 made great use of the lockdown and created a new social impact venture called Methodly. Positive change made simple.
We reflected on the last five years supporting many clients and navigating social innovation using our range of tools and thought, hey, let’s make this into an affordable, playful and useful product. So, we embarked on creating a collection of toolkits, templates, method cards and guidance notes on how to create social innovation.
We are just about to go live on Kickstarter and we are seeking your support to help us get these exciting products and tools into the hands of like-minded people all over the world.
