Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Discovery Tool work? 

The Discovery Tool is an interactive dynamic guide to the ecosystem. It's aim is to enable startups to find the supporters best suited to their needs, and also to allow supporters to explore the various startups in the ecosystem. Based on data gathered by OSH on companies, supporters and startups can input up to 3 criteria depending on what they need, e.g. funding, training etc. The tool will then recommend the startup/supporter that is most relevant, you can then click the logo to take you to their profile and proceed with contacting them. If a relevant company cannot be found, then we encourage you to submit that feedback so we can identify gaps in the ecosystem and ensure that we work with our partners to fill them.

How will OSH use my information? 

All information that is confidential is clearly marked, and is strictly for data gathering purposes in order for stakeholders to make informed decisions on how to better build the Innovation ecosystem. All other information will be displayed on the site and will help feed the ecosystem and ensure that the site can recommend the most relevant stakeholders for your benefit.

When filling out your profile you can update your interests and get tailored alerts in your dashboard. Startups looking for the same services offered by your organization will show up and you can get in touch with them.

Can I be involved in more than one startup? 

Yes! Startups may ask you to sign an NDA, and each startup will have their own conditions that you can discuss with them.

Can I receive financial compensation? 

Yes! You can negotiate financial renumeration with the startup once you are connected.

Can I offer my time for a one-off meeting, or does it require a commitment? 

Yes! As an advisor you can provide as much or as little time as you have. Startups are always looking for experienced minds and are happy with whatever you can offer. State your preference when registering an advisor, and we will match you with the most appropriate startup.
