How does Innovation Republic curate the innovation process?
Innovation Republic is your non-profit curator: we take your requirement to the best available partners — the first three are live, more are added continuously. All clearly laid out in the cockpit, you stay in control. Free for requesting organisations — a fee applies only if a comparison procedure already under way is abandoned (§ 8 (4) of our terms).

Every phase is supported by a curated, best-in-class tool. Free for requesting organisations; a fee applies only for abandoning a comparison procedure already under way (§ 8 (4) of our terms). Optional consultant support per phase can be booked through Roland.

Do you have a best-in-class tool? Become a curated IR tool partner.
What you are probably still asking about the platform.
Question 01
What sets Innovation Republic apart from a marketplace?
Marketplaces list providers and leave selection, briefing and steering to the client. Innovation Republic curates the whole process: sharpening the requirement, matching providers, structuring the sprint, documenting the outcome. We don't just broker, we accompany.
Question 02
Which partners are live today, and which are coming?
Live today are startup matching via SpinIn and the innovation check. The funding check and the consultant exchange are being onboarded — further partners are curated continuously. You can see the current state in the cockpit, at each partner's status pip.
Question 03
Can we connect our own tools to the platform?
Yes — Innovation Republic is deliberately open. If you have a proven specialist tool for one phase (a provider database, a sprint management tool, a funding filter, say), you can apply as a tool partner. We curate against clear quality criteria.
Question 04
Do we need the platform at all — we already have our own innovation processes?
If your own process works, great — then use us selectively, for provider matching or funding research, for instance. Innovation Republic is additive, not a replacement. Most SMBs have no innovation process of their own — for them the platform is the way in.
Feeling innovation pressure but unsure how to proceed?
Talk to us. We curate the right process with you — from sharpening the requirement to a documented sprint outcome. Free, no strings attached, non-profit.
