Next Big Idea Competition
Even the best ideas may need support to get to the next level.
NACUSO’s Next Big Idea competition helps identify and nurture innovative concepts that will help our industry grow and thrive. It’s our version of the popular TV show “Shark Tank.” We aim to provide a platform for innovative ideas to thrive, regardless of initial financial resources, and to ensure these ideas are implemented effectively.
Our focus is on creating meaningful impact for credit unions, their members, and communities—not just generating exciting concepts. Results and outcomes are what truly matter.
