About Us
ALL ABOUT US
Welcome to the world of Co-Fund and Collaborate to Innovate (CC2i), where the public sector can co-fund and collaborate on digital solutions that tackle shared challenges.
It’s time to move beyond just talking about digital collaboration and take action towards creating a future where it’s standard practice for public sector organisations, including local authorities, social housing, and health organisations, to work together on digital initiatives.
We know that innovative ideas can come from anywhere, including small and medium-sized enterprises and digital teams within the public sector who may lack the resources to bring their ideas to life. That’s why CC2i offers a unique approach to public sector technology by sharing risk, cost, and expertise to deliver solutions that meet the diverse needs of the public sector.
Through CC2i, we can join forces to identify and address our shared challenges, and empower digital teams from both commercial and public sectors to pitch and fund their ideas. This way, we can build robust and secure digital services for the benefit of communities across the country, all while maximising the value for taxpayers.
Costs associated with CC2i are simple and straightforward. There’s a £500 listing fee and a 20% fee on the funds raised through the platform for each project. The listing fee covers support in formulating the pitch and reaching target audiences, and is only payable once the pitch is ready to go live. For example, if £25,000 is raised for a project, the receiving organisation would pay a fee of £5,000 + VAT.
In addition, CC2i helps scale up solutions by developing the business case and driving sales and marketing efforts, often acting as the reseller. Reselling terms are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or want to discuss a new project.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
The costs for using CC2i are simple and transparent. It goes like this:
- £500 listing fee
- 20% of the funds raised through the platform for any given project
That’s it. Nothing hidden. No complex formulas.
The listing fee covers the time and effort to help support you in formulating your pitch, agreeing a timetable for communications, drafting all of those and reviewing/agreeing the target audiences – from our vast and varied network – that we will reach out to. This fee is only payable once you are happy that the pitch is ready to go live. Then, for example, if we manage to raise £25,000 for your project – a fee of £5,000 + VAT is due from the organisation receiving the funds. Most pitches will build those costs into their overall budget for the project.
