Shaker & Lara are part of the innovation/startup ecosystem. Over the years they met hundreds of people who had an idea, a thought. They realised that these ideas are most of the time not given a chance, because they are not processed, they do not “land” on a paper.
When Shaker met Lara he had an idea – help people who have ideas. Lara put it on a paper and it eventually became a business.
Today we are very excited to offer the same service to anyone who has an idea and would like to make it a reality. We did it for ourselves, let us do it for you.
Everything Begins With An Idea
