ABOUT
"Great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people" - Steve Jobs
Creators' Web is an establishment of CreationRoom Limited which was founded by Praveen Nair Mathavan. The aim of this platform is to bring together people with entrepreneurial ambition to work together and create the next generation of future startups and businesses. Creators' Web was set up in order to convene people from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, skills, educational backgrounds and fields in order to work together, share ideas, resources and skillsets with the view of kick-starting or growing their ideas and businesses.

THE CONCEPT
Founder's Message
Growing up, I had a lot of ideas on potential start-ups that I believed would have solved real life problems. After speaking to friends and family, it seemed like most of those ideas did fill in a gap in our daily lives. However, I always struggled to find the appropriate partners with complementary skillsets to realise these ideas and this was exacebated by the fact that I was young with schooling commitments therefore, not being able to receive the appropriate funding to pay skilled professionals to work with me.
​
The concept behind Creators' Web is to bring people with similar drives together in order to put our minds, complementary skillsets and resources together in order to come up with and grow the next generation of successful start-ups. Some individuals may have great ideas but lack the skillset for execution whilst others may want to use their talent in a new way but are unfamiliar with the opportunities out there. Therefore, by matching the appropriate skilled service providers to idea generators, new ventures will blossom and we will be able to provide solutions to many of the real world's problems.

FAQ
IS CREATORS' WEB AN INCUBATOR?
We brand ourselves as a global entrepreneurs network. Unlike an incubator, we come in at an earlier stage when the idea is merely a thought or a plan. We provide you with access to people with the same mindset as yourselves but with other skillsets and resources in order to realise your idea with minimal capital expenditure. We also provide bespoke services in order for you to realise your idea rather than require you to have already prototyped or done some form of feasibility testing.
CAN I JOIN IF I DON'T HAVE AN IDEA FOR A STARTUP?
Of course!
You can join as a passive member which will give to access to the news and events of Creators' Web.
You can join as an active service provider, therefore, providing your skills other members in exchange for sweat equity. This may also allow you to be a partner or co-founder of one of the start-ups.
You can partner up with other members of the web in order to brainstorm and come up with your very own proposal.
I HAVE AN IDEA BUT DON'T KNOW IF IT'S VIABLE
When you join us, we will contact you to find out what your expectations are of us. Therefore, if you have an idea, we can help you test it's viability and from there, come up with a game plan on how to move your venture forward.
I HAVE AN IDEA BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT FORWARD
We can help you come up with your very own business plan, and give you tailored advice on how you can move forward. We will assist you on making sure you have the right people on your team to maximise success.
DO I HAVE TO PAY YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES?
Not at all! We will only take minimum sweat equity for any services provided (to both the person with the idea and the service providers). The Creators' Web mentality is that WE want your idea to succeed and therefore will help you the best we can until you are able to gain traction and monetise your idea.
