WataBus
WataBus is designed to bring opportunity directly to the public. Rather than waiting for inventors and entrepreneurs to find us, we take the pitch platform on the road — travelling across towns and cities, stopping along the way to give everyday people the opportunity to present their ideas.
The WataBus will travel nationally, stopping at designated locations where individuals can board the bus and pitch their ideas directly to the WataPitch panel. Whether you are an inventor, entrepreneur, or someone with a simple idea, WataBus creates a platform where opportunity meets accessibility.
Taking Opportunity to the Public
Not everyone has the time, resources, or confidence to travel and present an idea. WataBus removes that barrier by bringing the opportunity directly to communities.
The bus will stop at towns along its planned route, allowing members of the public to:
- Join the queue
- Register for available pitch slots
- Present their idea
- Receive immediate feedback
This ensures that every stop creates real opportunity for those present.
Live Panel via Internet
The WataPitch panel will not always be physically on the bus. Instead, inventors will pitch directly to the panel through live screens using secure internet connections.
This allows:
- Multiple panel members to join from different locations
- A broader range of expertise
- A consistent professional pitching environment
- Faster evaluation and decision-making
Bring Your Ideas — Samples Welcome
While not required, individuals are encouraged to bring:
- Sample products
- Drawings or sketches
- Prototypes
- Supporting documentation
WataBus is designed to support ideas in their early stages, as well as more developed concepts.
Sponsors & Partners
WataBus will also travel with sponsors and partners who support innovation, entrepreneurship, and new product development. These sponsors help make the journey possible while also providing additional exposure and potential opportunities for inventors.
Sponsors may include:
- Business support partners
- Manufacturing partners
- Funding partners
- Marketing partners

A Platform for Everyone
WataBus is built on a simple idea — opportunity should not be limited by geography, connections, or circumstance.
We bring the platform.
You bring the idea.
And together, we explore what’s possible.
