Be Creative In Your Spare Time...

Welcome to Deals Colony — Building Net‑Positive Futures Together

​

1. What is Deals Colony?

Deals Colony is a circular innovation network and venture-building platform that helps people turn ideas, skills, and unused resources into real projects, income opportunities, and measurable impact.

We focus on reducing waste in all forms—materials, time, skills, and ideas—by connecting people through a shared ecosystem.

​

2. What is the Circular Innovation Network Membership?

It’s a structured 2-year membership designed to help you fast-track your idea into a real project without building everything alone.

As a member, you get:

• A 6-week guided project (pilot or venture)

• Access to shared infrastructure (tools, systems, marketing funnels)

• Collaboration with other members and experts

• Impact data (ESG) tracking and insights

• Ongoing opportunities to build, test, and grow projects

​

3. How is this different from traditional programs?

We don’t just teach—you build inside a live ecosystem.

Instead of doing everything from scratch, you:

• Use shared resources and systems

• Collaborate through a network model

• Launch faster with tested frameworks and pilot projects

​

4. How does Deals Colony help me launch faster?

We support you through:

• Idea validation and venture design

• Product/service development

• Marketing funnel setup

• Collaboration and partnerships

• Real-world testing through pilot projects

This reduces cost, risk, and time to launch.

​

5. What is the Gift Economy Exchange Program?

Inspired by natural ecosystems—where nothing is wasted—this program allows value to circulate across the network.

How it works:

• You contribute something valuable (skill, session, idea, resource)

• No immediate payment is expected

• In return, you gain:

  • Visibility

  • Connections

  • Collaboration opportunities

Your contribution is converted into dollar-credit value, which can be used across Deals Colony services.

Example:

A retired HR professional runs a 1-hour workshop.
That contribution is valued at $400 in credits, which she uses toward her next project.

👉 This ensures skills are not wasted—they circulate and create opportunities.

​

6. What are Continuity Growth Credits?

After your main 2-year membership, you can continue building using discounted credits.

These give you ongoing access to:

• Expert support

• Shared systems and frameworks

• New project opportunities

• Collaboration pathways

👉 This ensures your progress doesn’t stop—the ecosystem continues to support you.

​

7. Who is this for?

• Entrepreneurs and idea-stage founders

• Migrants restarting careers

• Students and young innovators

• Parents, retirees, and career switchers

• Businesses and organisations exploring circular economy and ESG

​

8. What types of projects can I work on?

Projects include:

• Circular economy ventures

• Product and packaging innovation

• Digital platforms and services

• Community and wellbeing programs

• Skills-based and income-generating initiatives

All projects are designed to generate real outcomes and measurable impact.

​

9. How long does it take to build a project?

• Core pilot: 6 weeks

• Ongoing development: flexible within your 2-year membership

You can contribute as little as 2 hours per week.

​

10. What do I get after completing a project?

• A working project, pilot, or validated idea

• Impact (ESG) data and insights

• Portfolio and collaboration opportunities

• Pathways to scale or monetise your work

​

11. How personalised is the support?

Every member receives tailored guidance based on:

• Your goals

• Your availability

• Your skills and interests

We combine structured systems with flexible pathways.

​

12. How does Deals Colony ensure credibility?

Our work is aligned with:

• Circular Economy principles

• ESG and sustainability frameworks

• Real pilot projects and measurable data

This ensures outcomes are practical, not just theoretical.

​

13. Is my information safe?

Yes. We follow privacy and data protection practices and respect your intellectual property.

Where required, we use agreements (e.g. NDAs) to protect shared ideas and collaborations.

We also aim to align with Australian consumer and fair trading principles to ensure transparency and trust.

​

14. What are the fees?

Membership and service fees vary depending on:

• Level of support

• Project scope

• Collaboration structure

Flexible options are available, including value exchange through the Gift Economy model.

​

15. Do you guarantee results?

We provide systems, support, and collaboration—but outcomes depend on your participation and effort.

This is not a get-rich-quick model. It’s designed for sustainable, long-term growth.

​

16. Can my project be promoted?

Yes—with your permission, we may promote your work through:

• Social media

• Marketing funnels

• Network collaborations

This helps increase visibility and opportunities.

​

17. How does Deals Colony generate revenue?

Revenue comes from:

• Memberships

• Project delivery and consulting

• Workshops and education

• Circular retail and partnerships

Profits are reinvested to grow the ecosystem and community impact.

​

18. Who runs Deals Colony?

Deals Colony is led by a multidisciplinary team of professionals and collaborators across:
technology, sustainability, business, health, education, and creative industries.

​

19. How do I get started?

• Understand your goals

• Match you with the right pathway

• Explore collaboration opportunities

​

20. What makes Deals Colony different?

We don’t just build businesses.

We build a circular system where nothing is wasted—
not ideas, not skills, not people.
