I work with my team to develop new products and online tools that help source and grow innovations. The goal is to give everyone, everywhere, the opportunity to share and grow their ideas for making the world a better place.

Ideas reach their fullest potential when they are shared and worked on collaboratively. But how do you get your idea to reach the broadest audience possible?

Ideas can happen anywhere, at any time. To collect them and connect them, they need to share a central marketplace, fed by sources spread across a broad range of sources - funders, communities, organizations, companies and corporations.

Thank you Numfor. I have relayed your feedback to our team. Live chat is a possibility that we are exploring. One limitation of live chat is the fact that our users are spread over a wide range of time zones, so the people you may be most interested in talking to might not be online when you are. We will look at some way to create a unified messaging system that can notify users of incoming communications and messages, whether the recipient is online or not.
