Vintro, a new digital, global marketplace of business decision-makers, is opening its platform to entrepreneurs and innovators who are seeking mentorship, guidance, or investment. Aiming to simplify the business development process, Vintro’s decisionmakers, known as ‘reviewers,’ are compensated for their time to review new ideas, products, or services from entrepreneurs or ventures, the community’s ‘creators,’ via a 90-second video. With 65% of reviewers available for between $25 and $300, creators are guaranteed constructive feedback, advice, or next steps via a video or audio message. Vintro is also launching “Vintro for Volunteers,” allowing those without funds to access selected reviewers in return for volunteering hours.

The Vintro community already consists of hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, billionaire family offices, leading venture funds, industry experts, Nobel Prize winners and academics from across the globe. Many have joined the platform because they see enormous potential in democratizing access, discovering talent from previously untapped innovation sources and letting good ideas rise to the top due to merit and creativity.

Vintro’s Founder Noor Sugrue, currently a freshman at The University of Chicago, says: “Great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere in the world. But an idea dies without the right resources. Now everyone can have guaranteed, direct access and engagement from the world’s most important leaders. They always said it was about ‘who you know’ as much as ‘what you know’ – we didn’t think that was fair – so we fixed it.”
