World-changing Innovation starts here

Simple-to-use software for streamlining teaching, learning, and implementing innovation, entrepreneurship, and customer discovery.

Students &
Entrepreneurs

Comprehensively designed to facilitate all of the Lean LaunchPad (LLP) methodology. It saves you time, enhances the learning experience, and improves your outcomes. Rather than being spread across multiple apps, all your data is connected and recorded. We give you better insights, faster iteration, enhanced learning, and more successful business models.

Programs &
Instructors

We facilitate teaching the data-rich highly iterative LLP process. “It’s so great having everything in one place,” is instructor feedback we hear a lot. It makes LLP much easier to teach. And, in IW, instructors have real-time analytics on every aspect of their program and have a direct line of communication to each team (and to each other). 
We give you better outcomes.

Enterprises &
Intrapreneurs

Innovation is the best competitive edge. It enables an Enterprise to win in all sorts of areas: market share, growth, recruitment, employee engagement and retention. On-going Customer Discovery enhances long-term growth. An innovative culture is one of the most powerful differentiators, long-term. We enable the Innovative Enterprise.

Customer Discovery: What and Why

Crafting a successful product is no easy feat. Countless companies have released products that failed to hit the mark, leaving them with a huge financial loss and a tarnished reputation. Take Crystal Pepsi, for instance, taken off the shelves within a year because Pepsi didn’t ask the customer what mattered most about their beverage choice – taste.


This is where customer discovery comes in – the process of ensuring that people will love and pay for a product before investing time and money into its development. By speaking with potential customers, companies can gather valuable insights and feedback on their product ideas, and use this information to refine and improve their designs.


Customer discovery is key for startups looking to create a quality product quickly and cost-effectively, as well as for established companies, such as Apple, who continue to hit home runs year after year.


At Innovation Within, we believe in the power of customer discovery. Our platform is designed to help companies understand what matters most to customers, so they can make informed decisions that shape their offerings. Say goodbye to costly flops and hello to successful products with The Discovery Platform.


 It’s what The Discovery Platform is built for.

What Our Customers Have to Say

What Our Customers Have to Say

What is the Discovery Platform™?

Innovation Within’s Discovery Platform™ is designed to help you create groundbreaking, viral products based on qualitative research and the scientific method. With our innovative software, you begin by creating a business model and establishing hypotheses about the problem you’re solving, your target customers and unique value proposition. Then use the Customer Discovery process to interview customers and validate/invalidate your hypotheses along the way. Keep your research and team organized in one place, easily recording, transcribing and annotating customer interviews as you go.

We believe when you take the time to understand your customers’ wants, needs and behaviors, you can build a product that fulfils unmet those needs and find product/market fit.

The Customer Discovery Journey

Hypothesize
Turn Ideas into Business Models
You have a great idea, yet what's the best business model required to succeed? Our business modeling feature helps clarify the problem you solve, the customers you'll serve and the value proposition. These hypotheses are the starting point for Customer Discovery.
Interview

Upload and transcribe in minutes

Upload your interview recording and we'll transcribe it with our fast, accurate transcription engine. Seek and edit, name speakers, split monologues, and more. Now you have the raw evidence you need to validate and invalidate your business model hypotheses.
Validate

Validate or Pivot

As you gather evidence to validate or invalidate your hypotheses, you'll come to a point where you have to decide; has my idea been validated, or is it time to pivot? Make the decision based on insights from your interviews and your ability to fill their needs.
Evaluate

Turn raw data into insights in minutes

Our SmartInsights™ feature allows you to categorize, comment on and link insights to your hypothesis. Quickly build a library of 'voice of the customer' insights that you can review directly on your business model canvas. Scientific validation has never been easier.

Who We Are

Customer Discovery is in our DNA

We created the Discovery Platform™ to tackle problems people were experiencing in their Customer Discovery processes. Rather than build a platform that would address known issues, we set out to build a platform using the very methodology it would serve. Through an extensive Customer Discovery process, the Discovery Platform™ was born. Keeping pace with the latest developments in innovation pedagogy and incorporating continuous feedback allow us to better help teams validate their business models and find product/market fit.
