“Share your idea and I will give you a vision.”
- Jared Yellin
June of 2020 was BIG for me…
This was the month when CILA Labs was born…
This was the month when I realized my greatest passion as an entrepreneur…
This was the month when I committed to only staying in my flame…
This was the month when I declared we would launch 10,000 tech companies by 2021…
I shared this vision with two people…
Katie and Mani…
Both said, “We are in, but explain what this even means!”
Here’s exactly what I said…
“I want people to share their ideas with me and I guarantee that I will transform their idea into a vision.
How you ask…
If we believe in the PERSON…
If we believe in the IDEA…
If we believe there is not too much COMPETITION…
If we believe there is a path to MARKET…
Then we will do the following…
Step 1 - CREATE their idea (at cost)
Step 2 - INNOVATE their idea (at cost)
Step 3 - LAUNCH their idea (at cost)
Step 4 - ACCELERATE their idea into a VISION (at cost)
What does this mean?!?!
Well, we will partner with 10,000 entrepreneurs and launch 10,000 tech companies that eliminate an inefficiency for every person from around the world.
AND we will work diligently to ensure that every tech company has some form of a positive liquidity event within 1-5 years from launch.
AND AND...this is exactly how we take an idea and transform it into a vision.
Now, are you in?”
Katie And Mani Were Pretty Darn Excited But It Did Not Stop There…
I have never seen anything accelerate the way CILA Labs has…
Allow me to explain and then I am going to pivot this article so it directly SERVES you…
June 2020 Launch
Over 200 pitches of IDEAS
20 tech companies are in the CREATE and INNOVATE stage (all of which have UNICORN potential and ALL of which will change millions of lives)
4 INSANE investors join CILA Labs
An Angel Investor Network is launched called ChangeMaker Ventures
Connections have been made with 100’s of untouchables because that is how much people believe in our mission and our vertically integrated business model
Okay, why does any of this matter to you because like I shared…
Katie and Mani and our investors and our co-founders and our partners and our advisors are all pretty darn excited about CILA and you should be too…
Because whether you work with us or not - we are proving and showcasing how ideas must evolve into visions…
So right now…
I guarantee you have an idea that you are sitting on and the reason you are not doing anything with this idea is the following…
1 - You don’t know where to start
2 - You don’t have the money
3 - You don’t have the team
4 - You don’t have the know-how
5 - You don’t have the vision <<< MOST IMPORTANT!
You see, ideas don’t matter.
They are a dime-a-dozen and when people ask me to sign an NDA before sharing their IDEA, I am 100% positive that they are not the right person for me to partner with because they are holding their idea too close to their chest and suffocating it.
I am open and willing and eager to publicly share EVERY idea that shows up on my mind because it’s far more powerful and valuable in the universe than in my head.
And by sharing my ideas - they evolve to a place of VISION where I am able to see the idea as something real, I begin to experience the benefit of executing, I am clear on the outcome it will produce and now I have what I need to begin.
Got An Idea?!
If you have an idea then I invite you to do something with it so that it evolves into a vision and creates a path for execution.
I have the perfect story of an idea that became a vision during one 45-minute phone call between myself, Katie, and our Co-Founder of Loyalty Hub, Luke Santamaria.
Luke pitched us on his idea…
A reward platform for small businesses…
Sounds interesting, but there’s a ton of noise in the space of reward software so what can we do to evolve this idea into a vision…
We began a process called…
If you could have it all your way - what would you solve?
Luke thought for a few minutes and then said…
I want to empower patrons to stay local and stay small.
WOW - I love that!
And within 15-minutes…
An idea was revolutionized into a vision…
Loyalty Hub has a very bold and audacious mission to serve 5,000,000 small business owners by empowering patrons to stay local and stay small with their spending. By combining a reward management platform focused on positive consumer behavior, with a more advantageous currency for businesses that cuts merchant processing fees in half, and intelligent local network builder to facilitate win-win local business relationships, Loyalty Hub will revolutionize earning potential and FUN for millions of businesses from around the world.
Here’s the outcome…
Luke is now a Co-Founder of a VISION (Tech Company with limitless scale)
I deeply believe Loyalty Hub will become a multi-billion dollar exit
I am certain we will help 5,000,000+ small business owners
We will make our investors very happy
Why does any of this matter?!?!
Well, LUKE shared his idea without an NDA, without hesitation, without anything other than a desire to transform it into a vision and a vision is what he got…
So that’s my challenge for you…
Grab your most audacious idea right now…
The one that represents an inefficiency that you WISH you could solve…
