We're giving someone £1,000 for a terrible idea.

Not a good idea. Not an investable one. The kind of thing your mates talked you out of at the pub. Pitch us that, and we might just pay for it.
Pitch us your idea
"Put my mate's face on a billboard and let London vote on it."
"Hire a limo to take me and the lads 400 metres to the pub."
"Hire a professional commentator for our Sunday league match."
"Turn the house into a water slide for the afternoon."

We've got a soft spot for reckless ideas.

Sensible ideas already get all the funding they need. Someone's got to back the ones that don't make sense on paper, and never will. That's the gap we're filling, one terrible idea at a time.
