Mark Collin, Group Director, ThoughtWorks Ventures:
​
'Marina and I had the pleasure of working together to establish an entirely new business unit for ThoughtWorks Globally. Starting from the U.K. together we un-covered three global mega trends that helped to take ThoughtWorks beyond working with just large enterprises into new Ecosystems.  In its first year ThoughtWorks Ventures has generated £8m of new consulting revenue and is already profitable and expanding to other regions.

In 2014, with 3 races left, the Caterham F1 team went into administration. The team wanted to race at the final Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi. Formula One Management agreed on the basis that the required $3.7m funds were raised within the 7 day deadline! Marina came up with a plan and approached the Team Principal with an idea for a first time ever approach to raising finance - a crowdfunding campaign powered by the fans - disrupting the traditional sponsorship motor sport model. The fans were delighted, the team raced the final season race at Abu Dhabi!

​'Marina has created innovative ways for motorsport fans to consume the content the sport has to offer. We are delighted to be at the forefront of cultivating a new generation of motor racing fans. It’s a fantastic platform for us to showcase our GP3 assault and raise the profile of the whole team and our drivers.'

This resulted in 9 million views, on-car advertising worth $1m and driver sponsorship $2m+.

Are you fundable?

​What is Are You Fundable?
Until now there has been no standardized criteria for Startups to share, and for Investors and Venture Capital Funds to get a simple overview of the company. After interviewing 50 investors, we have created an AI that determines a score out of 100 of how fundable a startup is. This score will help companies to understand how they can make themselves more attractive to investors and address the areas where they are lacking as well as make it easier for Investors to determine the ventures they wish to invest in.
