IdeaBounce® is two things working together.

The Platform. ideabounce.com is a free, public idea repository where anyone can post a concept at any stage — no business plan required. Browse what others are building, find collaborators, and connect directly with founders.

The Event. Several times a year, the Skandalaris Center hosts live IdeaBounce® events where idea-havers take the stage for a two-minute, slide-free pitch. Judges evaluate on clarity, passion, and a specific ask for help. Networking and feedback follow every session.

Whether you have an idea or want to support one, IdeaBounce® is where the St. Louis entrepreneurial community starts.
