Too many good ideas die.

Maybe you are not the right person to found the killer start-up you came up with. Maybe you have an idea for a social project that would make a lot of sense for a specific company, but you work in a completely different sector. Maybe you are the right person to start the project, but you don’t have the time.

Whatever the reason: we believe that these ideas are valuable. Don’t let them die. Convince others to go with them. Become an extrapreneur!

We want to spread the idea of extrapreneurship because we believe

• that extrapreneurship can bring good ideas to life that would not have had a chance otherwise
• that many people will have fun being extrapreneurs
• that many extrapreneurs want an identity and a community of peers

The first step is to make the idea of extrapreneurship more tangible. For that, we need stories of extrapreneurship — actual people who turned their ideas into reality by convincing others to go with them. Do you know such a person? Or are you an extrapreneur yourself? Then get in touch!
