    Helping large companies innovate isn't easy, but it is vital. Vital to creating new jobs. Vital to igniting growth. Vital to ensuring a safe, healthy and prosperous future of billions around the globe.

    But, Innovation at large companies is a mess. Employees often have lots of ideas to improve the business, but with no formal process, their ideas go unheard and they eventually give up trying to make a difference. Corporate innovation teams are expected to support a growing list of activities but have historically lacked strong tools designed for the job. Executives, despite having millions to invest, live in fear of disruption, and still have no idea where their "next big idea" will come from, or if it will come at all.

    We're a tight-knit, entrepreneurial minded, team of self-starters who show up every day with a singular mission : to transform the way the world innovates. Our primary focus this year is to continue to add exceptionally talented and motivated individuals to the Brightidea team. We are : ambitious, bold, highly-collaborative, focused and we aim to win. We take a humble approach to changing the way corporate R&D teams run innovation challenges.
