Born out of 25 years of working on the genesis and validation of ideas, 11point2 is a pioneer in applying entrepreneurial founder mindset and agility to corporations and government. As an Idea Validation company, we connect unobvious dots to create clarity within the chaos of transformative, disruptive innovation - to conceive and rapidly validate ideas that would otherwise never have been found. 11point2 exists to fearlessly get ahead of the world’s problems with people and organisations who care. We are a diverse group of unconstrained thinkers, pioneers and builders who know that idea validation is the first, most important step in innovation. Some of us are proven entrepreneurs, multi start-up founders, road-tested corporate types, technical specialists, designers, analysts & engineers but all are focused on validating new ideas and innovating for the future of our society. 11point2 takes its name from the escape velocity of an object from planet earth (11.2 km/s) and reflects the focus on putting ideas on the launchpad that have a reasonable chance of success, properly prepared for the journey, and are truly worthwhile.
