Describe your company's current technology and solutions
Our consultants use crowdsourcing, co-creation, and challenge-based learning techniques to produce innovation programs and events where perspectives, inspiration and ideas are shared, minds are expanded and changed, new connections are made, and more resonant solutions are found than any of us could create individually.

We leverage the framework of hackathons to design and execute custom events and programs that deliver on real business objectives related to R&D, technology exploration, corporate venture, digital transformation, innovation culture, skill building, talent brand, brand positioning and client engagement or onboarding. We work with clients in health/life sciences , banking/finance, professional services, government, real estate , non-profits and more.

We bring together brilliant minds in collaboration to find innovative solutions to important business, customer, cultural and
technical challenges. We supply the tools needed for our clients to revolutionize their economics of innovation through rapid solution delivery from a specialist crowd, sourced to accelerate their innovation cycle.

We believe in the power of the crowd. We imagine and produce innovation programs and events where perspectives, inspiration and ideas are shared and more resonant solutions are found than any of us could create on our own. Our mission is to unlock the potential in everyone to participate in building the future.
