IdeaScale is a worthwhile tool which enables start-up businesses and similar enterprises to extract funding and ideas from interested third parties. While partially billed as collaborative software, it is just as effective at generating the much-needed revenue in order to realize the completion of a project. A free version of this package supports up to 25 additional members.

Primary Tools and Functions

IdeaScale is completely customizable and is therefore a powerful tool to implement during the pre-launch stage of a project. Some of its core features include strategic planning templates, a responsive mobile design, an ability to work with a dedicated UX team and automatic email notifications so that users can stay one step ahead of the competition. Fields and data entry points are able to be modified by the end user, so the entire collaborative process will become much more streamlined.

Additional Benefits

As this is primarily community-based software, any authorized user can submit ideas into the forum. An advanced word-matching algorithm will then match these ideas with similar concepts entered by other members. Other advantages include the addition of widgets into a website, seamless integration into existing social media platforms and enhanced security protocols (Section 508) to make certain that all information remains private during any exchange.
