• We turn conversation into action through the ideas of the crowdEidos Conversations: diverse. real. impactfulAny great solution starts with defining a problem. Identifying, refining and defining a problem takes a good hard conversation made up of diverse individuals with innovative structures to share, listen and challenge.Eidos Challenges: iterate. crowdsourcedThe human capability to develop solutions to ideas is untapped. We believe in putting our challenges to the crowd to solve the seemingly unsolvable. We also seek to enable individuals to collaborate together to develop even richer solutions.Eidos Acceleration: nurture. connect. scaleTurning an idea into a viable solution requires three ingredients: Match making between the startup, investors & regulators; Coaching to kick start the startups unique journey; and Connection to a network to help further develop the solution.We believe in the power of individuals to solve big problems. What's missing is a place to make it happen. So we provide the platform and the tools to make it possible. Here's what's possible: MindHive.org The ConversationIn 2012 Eidos Institute & MinterEllison hosted 5 Thinking Aloud discussions throughout capital cities. These discussions brought together diverse thinkers on how problems can be solved better. The end result was the desire to shift problem solving away from the 12 people in a room method towards a process open to more diverse voices through the development of a crowdsourcing platform.The ChallengeAs a Challenge, the idea was taken to Wiliam, a commercial web company. The solution, MindHive, was developed by collaboration between Wiliam, Eidos Institute, the Australian Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and the Green Templeton College (Oxford). The platform was launched in June 2014. Voted as one of the Top Four ideas from some 80+ ideas presented via a Challenge for better connecting our research community and our national policy-makers at a National Forum hosted by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.The AccelerationIn late 2016 Eidos Institute was funded by NAB Impact Investment Readiness Fund and The English Family Foundation to prepare MindHive for a $2.5M capital raising. Minter Ellison and BDO joined forces by taking the lead on legals and financial modelling. Eidos is in final discussions with Australias top marketing and advertising agency.
