UK-based digital start-up Prospect 100 has recently secured €700,000 (£600,000) in funding to continue the development of its brand co-creation platform. The company, which was founded three years ago and has previously partnered with luxury goods conglomerate Kering and global watch brand Swatch Group, has set its sights on becoming the leading platform for brands to connect and collaborate with creative talent worldwide. With a community of tens of thousands of young creatives, Prospect 100 aspires to become one of the largest platforms for creativity in the world.
Prospect 100’s platform currently allows corporates, charities, and public organizations to tap into a vast pool of freelance and professional creatives, enabling them to source creative designs and enhance engagement. Co-founder and CEO Harry Beard believes that co-creation presents a powerful avenue for brands to communicate with their consumers through design, while also providing opportunities for talented individuals who are often underrepresented. Beard envisions co-creation playing a pivotal role in organizational strategies in the years to come, and he asserts that Prospect 100 will be at the forefront of this movement.
The recent funding round was led by pan-European fund BlackWood Ventures, London-based QVentures, and Austrian entrepreneur Ferdinand Ahorner. With the freshly acquired funds, Prospect 100 aims to further improve its platform and solidify its position as the premier hub for co-creation. By offering a space for brands to collaborate with creative individuals from all corners of the globe, Prospect 100 is empowering the next generation of talent and driving innovation within the industry.
