3. Product
Definition:
Meeting Ideas is the meeting point in internet for unemployed people who have innovative ideas and entrepreneur spirit with or without
business knowledge, and need help to promote them. A shop window of ideas where firms and investors will be able to find interesting
opportunities for their business and where people will find the chance to boost their future.
We offer professional support in different ways: professional feedback, templates, generate documentation (business plan, marketing
strategy...), training about business items, etc.
Added value
There are different website for contacting entrepreneurs and small and medium companies with investors in a professional environment but
there are not websites or firms to promote ideas from people who have not business knowledge and/or experience. We know these people do
not have much money so we offer a basic service for free and the rest for a competitive price, suitable for unemployed people.

7. Marketing strategy
Market analysis
• Spain is immersed in a deep economic crisis
• Current unemployed rate is 25% and increasing every month (5.778.000 people of 17.320.000)
• Unemployment exit more successful is self-work
• Main obstacle to work as freelance or create their own firm is a lack of knowledge about: economic/financial issues; business environment &
strategy and/or contact networks
• Somebody has simple ideas oriented to improve task related to their jobs but they do not know how to promote

• Attend entrepreneurs events
• Blogs and website: maybe we can exchange banners with partners companies
