Mission Ideas are what drive us forward.

Ideas have moved us from the rock to the wheel, from the covered wagon to the electric vehicle, from the industrial age to the information age. And great ideas - the ones that will shape our future - can come from anywhere.

We are seeking ideas that will change the world. And if we succeed, we hope to leave the world more equitable, more sustainable, and more fun than when we started.

But creating meaningful change - like most things - requires good people. That’s where you come in. We want you to be a part of our mission: to find the most important ideas that will solve our most challenging problems.
Description In 2009, IdeaScale founders Vivek Bhaskaran, Rob Hoehn, Josh Folk, and Jessica Day launched IdeaScale contemporaneous with President Barack Obama’s Open Government Initiative. In its first year, IdeaScale was adopted by 23 federal agencies. It served many organizations, including the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

The following year, the platform’s adoption rate expanded to include more than 36 agencies as well as numerous private Enterprise-level companies. As the company and the platform continued to grow, so did our community of collaborators. We came to welcome many industry leaders to our ranks, like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Doctors Without Borders, Freddie Mac, Marriott Vacations Worldwide, NASA, the United Way, the US Air Force, and many others.

Over the years we’ve grown our capabilities and offering by acquiring Ideavibes in 2014, Innovationmanagement.se in 2016, and (most recently) Betterific in 2020. This suite of solutions offers not only great software, but self-paced training and resources, as well as an entire community of ideators.
