How NAPKIn works The program encourages Neuro employees across all functions, therapies and geographies

to be an innovator, an investor, or both! Example employee communications include:

Become an investor. Once you do, you get a virtual wallet funded by Tom Tefft to allocate to projects you want to see

win.

Have an idea to make our products or services better? Submit your idea with a proposed budget. If your budget is fully funded by investors, you’ll get real $$$

to work on the project.

It’s easy and free to become an investor!

Have a voice in what gets funded.

Neuromodulation employees can participate in two ways:• Innovators – Your Vision! Submit a project proposal via the NAPKIn website with an estimate of funds

required to complete your project.• Investors – Your Voice! Register on the NAPKIn website and receive a virtual wallet of “vote-dollars” to

allocate to one or many project proposals, until your vote-dollars are gone. There is no charge to your cost center; winning proposals are funded from a central cost center.

If the “crowd” invests 100% of a project’s financing goal, actual funds are allocated for prototyping. It’s a way for you to have input in how Neuro invests in innovation.
