The Startacus platform – the “self-start society” – was launched in
August 2012. Recently, the collaboration element of the site was
unveiled, which will allow members to add projects and connect and
collaborate to help bring their ideas to life.
The primary objective of Startacus is to inspire, support and
motivate people across the UK and Ireland to fully realise their
self-start potential. The site aims to make a long-term social impact.
Many people have great creative ideas, but are baffled by the
bureaucracy, obstacles and even terminology that exists and acts like a
barrier, preventing them from going any further with their ideas.
In a nutshell, the ethos behind Startacus and the self-start society
is to remove those barriers and to provide a place where those creative
ideas can take root and grow.
We are aiming to bring together all people with ideas - be they
exploring their creative potential for the first time, or an experienced
self-starter or entrepreneur. Fundamentally, Startacus is a place where
self-starters and great minds can come together, to collaborate on
their big ideas and make them more of a reality.
The Startacus collaboration platform provides a unique dedicated
space where projects and ideas can be worked on; where connections
between self-starters can be made and where all the tips, resources and
tools needed are signposted. Users can create public and private
workspaces, request to help others, and seek collaborators to help make
their own ideas a reality. If help is only needed with certain aspects
of a project or business, bespoke workspaces can be created which are
specific to an individual’s own needs.
There is a train of thought that society is broken, that the economy
will continue to drag its feet and that employment will be hard to find.
However, with the launch of Startacus, self-starters everywhere can get
that little bit closer to doing their own thing and making their ideas a
reality.
