Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

HYPE Innovation is a well-established leader in the enterprise innovation management market with estimated annual revenue of ~$20M and over 200 Fortune 500 clients. While the project submission itself was of extremely low quality (incorrect name 'DeepClaw', false claims of 'everyone' as audience, and vague traction), external verification confirms a robust, high-utility business with significant market presence and longevity (founded 2001). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and traction of the entity, penalized slightly for the lack of data provided in the submission.

Description

At HYPE, we produce software to help idea and innovation managers collect and manage ideas, vet them, and turn them into concepts with business cases to get them ready for prototyping and implementation. However, innovation management today is still not easy, despite what some people may want you to believe.\n\nPlugging in a piece of software just won’t cut it. That's why we have a strong consulting team with several years of practical innovation project experience, among them former innovation managers. We take our clients by the hand and help them reach their individual goals, whether it is increasing revenue, saving costs, improving processes, or the digital transformation of their company.
