To date, the project has been funded over three years by our Founder & Chairman, Andrew Grant. This includes hosting a fabulous Burns Night dinner in Glasgow in 2024 for 75 people, interviewing 100 entrepreneurs across Scotland, London, Berlin, Dubai, LA, and San Francisco, editing and publishing one video per week for 14 months, and signing up 10 Founder Patrons.

Now, following our official Burns Night launch, we are seeking your support to take Bold Minds to the next level with the launch of our annual global conference events. The first event will take place in June 2025 at The Old Course, St Andrews, and we plan to sign up a Global Ambassador to the Board, who will then host the next Bold Minds Conference. Our goal is to announce Dubai 2026, New York 2027, and Tokyo 2028.

The business will generate revenue through:

• YouTube ad revenue from our weekly five-minute videos featuring epic entrepreneurs and industry experts.
• Sponsorship from our events, including the annual global conference and the annual St Andrew’s Day dinner in Scotland.
• Ticket sales and event income, including high-margin holiday packages for international followers attending our destination events.
• Annual membership fees for access to weekly and monthly online events.
• Commission and fees from our Tinder-style crowdfunding and investor matchmaking application.
• Sales income from our Bold Minds merchandise, sold via YouTube.
