For emerging entrepreneurs, Lava People provides you with a place to get started, giving you access to the world of entrepreneurship, and facilitating the resources to take that first leap of faith: the ideas, capital, and tools to unleash your potential!

Ideas

The world is full of incredible ideas, simple & grotesque, idealistic & powerful. Ideas might be considered strange, brilliant or mad but they create employment and change the way we do things. Lava people provides you with an idea generator to think out of the box and brainstorm about new ideas. Idea generation techniques have proven that by balancing the activity in right side of the brain (which controls your creative, visual, spatial concepts) with the left side of the brain (which controls your logical, mathematical judgmental, analytical activities), individuals are able to have more effective brainstorming sessions.

Based on these techniques, we have created an idea generator to further this activity. The idea is that by combining new business ideas in written form with random images, one can stimulate the proper balance between the right and left side of the brain in order to come up with new ideas.

Capital

Capital, both financial & intellectual are crucial ingredients in setting up your business. Lava People connects you to that capital. The investors who can fund your entrepreneurial dream are part of the club and can be found directly via ‘my match’. Capital also means good advice or inspiration by the stories, insights, and advice obtained via lava People. The banks won’t take you anywhere these days and institutions have been proven wrong. Lava People represents a breath of fresh air, initiated by the generation Y and supports anyone, taking the effort and courage to build a business, in finding strong capital.

Tools

Execution is often recognized as the most important factor in being successful. That’s why Lava People brings you the tools to set up your business. We have different templates that help you write your business plan, give you access to useful partner resources and offer a powerful collaboration suite to faciliate the communication with your stakeholders. Lava People has partnered with VE-A, a commercial company that was born out of a research institute with over 10 years experience in online collaboration and project management solutions; this tool integrates project management, knowledge management, and communication in a way not available anywhere else. With this tool you can work together with your partner, investors or other stakeholders in a secured environment to manage projects, set-up (virtual) meetings or share documents. Our tools enable you to get from an idea, to realization, to success.
