A NEW project to help local people get their idea for a business or community project off the ground is being launched in Chelmsley Wood next week.
The first North Solihull Soup session will be taking place at the Three Trees Centre a week today (October 16.)
In one way the event owes a debt to BBC series Dragons' Den, in which budding entrepreneurs make a pitch to a panel of business gurus and hope they will be persuaded to invest. The difference with Soup is that the people who turn up are the investors!
Here's how it works. Everyone pays £3 on the door and will sit through a four minute pitch from four local people. After each presentation, there will be a couple minutes more to ask questions.
Soup will be served and everyone has the opportunity to chat about the ideas they have just heard.
Afterwards the group votes for their favourite proposal and the one which wins the greatest support will receive all the money collected at the door to put towards their project.
The idea started life in Detroit, America and has quickly caught on around the world.
It was recently decided to get the scheme up-and-running in Solihull, with Chelmsley Wood chosen as one of two venues (another Soup is expected to launch in Dickens Heath.)
The introductory event takes place from 6.00-7.30pm.
For effective management of Office activities, decide on activities before choosing a location or rescheduling may become required to meet some requirements. Also corporate event planning experts must keep in mind the physical limitations of team members.
