FAQs
Enterprise Premium Membership is designed as a form of a membership on InnMind SaaS Platform for the teams within CVC and/or Open Innovation Departments that continuously source and collaboratively assess new quality startups depending on the appearing needs in order to move fast in the decision-making regarding the next investments/PoCs.
Open Innovation as a Service is rather designed as an end-to-end open innovation project, that focused on a specific corporate challenge (s) whereby InnMind acts as a third partner, providing scouting, full initiative's management and media coverage.
Some specific differences are mentioned below:
- Scouting - In Open Innovation as a Service, we follow an omni-channel outreach through the ecosystem (VCs, Accelerators, Journalists, Universities, InnMind Platform etc.) while in Enterprise Premium Membership, it is limited to our platform (13000+ startups).
- Timeline - In Open Innovation as a Service, a project runs for 2-6 months on an average while Enterprise Premium Membership is a quarterly or yearly subscription plan.
- Pricing - The fee of Open Innovation as a Service is fixed depending on the scope of the project while Enterprise Premium Membership has a subscription membership fee.
- Features - Open Innovation as a Service involves media coverage unlike the Enterprise Premium Membership.
We operate as a platform, and apart from our own outreach we perform using an omni-channel approach outside the platform to scout the most relevant solutions for challenges, our own platform and network grows organically by 300+ new startups/investors joining on a monthly basis. Other similar platforms serve as a database rather than a collaborative platform where the ecosystem is vivid, so in this case, InnMind covers all the aspects of open innovation & dealflow origination rather than providing parsed data from open sources and analysis.

- InnMind Network - Avail the benefit of our network of 5000+ startups by using our advanced search engine filtering startups by industry, location, stage etc.
