Some entrepreneurs conceive ideas at an alarming rate, others are more restrained, but all of us have some great (and not so great) thoughts, most of which stay hidden. Conceiving an idea is one thing, but seeing it grow healthily and make an impact on the world is quite another. Young ideas need to interact with others so they can develop, grow and make a difference. Launched today, 5Max.co.uk is a concept from the USA which gives oxygen to new ideas, gets them interacting with others and contributes to more ideas reaching their full maturity.

Avon Cosmetics started as a door to door bookseller, Nokia started as a paper mill. New ideas need to mingle with other ideas and brains to grow to their full potential.

Tim Latham who launched the business today (5max.co.uk) said "You might think of us as the midwives of ideas. We are helping people with ideas to get them out there, give them oxygen and quickly get them bouncing around in a room full of other ideas.  Each event has five presenters each having a maximum of five minutes and five slides to get their idea across. The judges have up to £500 available to help the most promising ideas along".

Latham added "Before launching we've already had interest from companies wanting to look outside for some new ideas, help those ideas along  and network with clients and contacts in a very relaxed way. We've designed 5Max.co.uk to make it a pleasant experience for more people to see their ideas reach adulthood".
