Get Real. Get Moving. Make Your Ask.

Three moves from idea to a confident ask.

For founders, creatives, and CEOs with an idea ready to start, finish or win backing for. You have an idea you want to have happen and want support, funding or participation. The next step is to ask. MakerOS helps you make a confident ask.

Get Real

See where you are now and take full ownership.

If you're waiting to start, complete or ask, take these steps first:

  • The Maker Starting Point shows you what is holding back your ask.
  • The Current Situation Map reveals the situation behind what you haven't yet started, asked for or got.

Get Moving

Get clear on what you'd love to have happen.

Say what you would love to have happen, and plant your flag.

Make Your Ask

Ask for what you want to have so that what you want happens.

Shape the position and build the communication assets that make your ask convincing.

Then make a confident ask: for customers, partners, team members or funding.

Begin with where you are now.
