Get Paid For Your Ideas

Ran into his interesting website that sells software that  helps organizations develop and grow ideas. The idea is solid and the software sounds like it could help organizations that are struggling with feedback problems relating to specific targeted problems.

The interesting part in the website is the area that lets you participate in problem solving and if your solution to the problem is chosen you are reimbursed for the idea. I think this is a great way to get people  involved in the proses of idea generation.

Here is an excerpt from the website.

How it Works
