Rarely asked questions about the 100ideasss project – playful punctuation illustration on a blue background

Answers to questions that are rarely or never asked.

What is the idea behind 100ideasss?

I send 100 ideas to companies, organisations or entrepreneurs and am curious to see what happens. Will I get any replies? Positive ones? I look forward to checking my inbox.

Why exactly 100 ideas?

100 is good because 100 is somehow a lot. When you send out 100 ideas, whether they're smart or crazy, you're taking it seriously in some way.

Are the 100 ideas ready yet?
No. I already have a few, but I still have to think of many more.

Why send out ideas without being asked?
A friend of mine once said: ‘Give luck a surface to attack.’ That sums it up very well.

What kind of ideas are they?
Anything. A product, a name, a children's book, an interview format, an advertisement, something clever, something stupid, whatever.

Aren't you afraid your ideas will be stolen?
I hope not. But holding back ideas out of fear doesn't help either. And if an idea is stolen here, at least I can write about it.

How do you come up with ideas?
By enjoying it. That's why I'm interested in creative work. That's why I question things. That's why I think about them. That's why something happens in my head.

What are your expectations?

I think I'll often read: Thanks, but no.
 And I hope I'll also read: Yes, that's cool!

What will the process be?

I've decided to give each idea a maximum of three attempts. That means asking three companies, etc. if I can send them an idea. If nothing works out, I'll publish the idea right here.

What else is important?

It's important to have fun.
