DiscoveryCast, Inc.

DiscoveryCast helps companies carry out ideation/brainstorming activities efficiently with a focus on generating new insights. Our experience in R&D, open innovation and social networking has resulted in a proven methodology backed by a proprietary web-based ideation platform that drives high levels of engagement and contribution. Coupled with our suite of analytical tools, we provide real-time analysis of the ideas as they are generated to help companies extract meaningful insights from each ideation event. We host all ideation sessions on our secure servers and our fee structure is per event (not subscription-based), thus providing maximum flexibility for our clients.
