AcceleratingInnovation

Companies today are faced with far more opportunities

for innovation than their internal teams can address, far

more customer pain points than can fit on their

development roadmaps, anddemands for incremental,

near-term improvements that crowd outhigh-value, next

generationbreakthroughs.

Enterprise Innovation Partners (www.innovate-partners.com) is pioneering the next generation of

corporate innovation and strategic investment by bringing together established, market-leading

companies with highly relevant ecosystems of entrepreneurs and startups. EIP programs create a

powerful combination of entrepreneurial ideas and energy

with our client's experience and market access. We

adapt the proven approaches of lean start-ups, open

innovation, crowd sourcing and other tools to harness the

talents and initiative of outside innovators, accelerate

established company innovation, and multiply the value of

existing R&D and corporate development efforts.

Proven Options

EIP brings deep experience and a proven approach to

accelerate innovation and to multiply the value of existing

R&D and corporate development efforts:

Start-up Matchingboosts the efficiency of corporate

development by identifying pre-screened early-stage

companies with solutions relevant to a company's

innovation priorities.

Corporate KickStarter leverages knowledge networks

to draw on and rate the best ideas and teams from every

corner of an organization (and beyond) for new energy and

creativity.

Enterprise Accelerator puts them together into a

complete, networked innovation solution.

Scaling Strategic Investing

Strategic investing is a hands-on, labor-intensive process. Internal teams try to stay current on product roadmaps,survey the landscape for opportunities, and then manually review them. The processburnssignificanttime and energy of senior executive teams to meet and evaluate potential partners, is costly, inefficient, and impossible to scale. Manual surveys miss many relevant technologies and team reviews waste time and money or risk poor decisions due to sunk costs.

EIP brings structure, systems, and scalability to Strategic Investment. We focus on desired capabilityto cast a broad net across unexpected sources of ideas. We set up competitions to leverage the enterprise’s knowledge network and allow the best ideas rise to the top. Only then do we engage internal resources on the top 3-5% of participants. We allow the invisible hand of self-selection and crowd filtering to reduce search costs, increase value and build scalability.

Disrupting Healthcare

Perhaps no industry is changing faster than US Healthcare. AHA, EHR, PCP… If the rate of acronym generation is indicative, we are in the midst of a revolution. The team at EIP was asked to help bring a modicum of order to the chaos when over 1500 young companies registered to partner with an established HealthTech leader. The challenge: selecting the highest potential candidates and defining productive ways to partner with them.

Our solution: leverage HealthTech’s knowledge network to let the best ideas float to the top and offer the winners an accelerator package of support, mentorship, and highly selective customer access for lean product development at very low cost and risk to HealthTech. Value to both sides: Priceless
