Accelerating the idea lifecycle and validating if an idea should be launched as a venture is difficult. The same challenges exist whether they are being driven by motivated founders, businesses, government or investors. A disciplined systematic approach maximises the chances of success and minimises wasted time and money. 11point2 takes its name from the escape velocity of an object from planet earth (11.2 km/s). It reflects our focus putting ideas on the launch pad that; have a reasonable chance of success, are properly prepared for the journey, and are truly worthwhile. Ideas that achieve escape velocity change the world, worthwhile ideas change it for the better. 11point2 is a group of passionate people that have lots of ideas, and the expertise to validate them and see them launched. We also partner with universities and other organisations to tap into the best talent for specific ideas.
