Ideapoke enables organizations to solve business problems by crowdsourcing from global sources. On Ideapoke, companies can post real world business challenges to seek innovative solutions in less time and reduced cost from a global talent pool.
“The idea is to democratise innovation and accelerate idea generation within and across companies. Posts like chief innovation officer are becoming commonplace now. Over the next 15 to 20 years, breakthroughs are predicted to be driven by innovation in technology…. Businesses across the world are realising that technology innovation can no longer be confined within organisational silos or to a group of researchers or scientists working in a lab,”
says Anoop Sahu, co-founder of Ideapoke.
“Similar to Google, the Ideapoke platform is a search engine that trawls through the web and mines data from the likes of university blogs, scientific papers, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and European Patent Office (EPO). When a corporate signs up, they post a suggested problem and the platform then suggests a solution matching the requirements.”
“Most of Ideapoke’s revenue comes from subscriptions. Companies can sign up for various monthly or yearly packages, depending on the number of queries and problems they want solved. These packages range from $30,000 to $1,50,000.”
“We also allow companies to use the platform on transaction basis, which means that they don’t have to subscribe,”
