Simple-to-use software for streamlining teaching, learning, and implementing innovation, entrepreneurship, and customer discovery.
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.
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).Â
We give you better outcomes.
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.

We’ve all seen it: a company releases a product that flops almost immediately. Crystal Pepsi was on the market less than a year and, at the end they said, “It would have been nice if we made sure the product tasted good.” Customer Discovery is how you avoid that.
It’s how a company ensures people will love (and pay for) the product they are designing, before they pour a lot of money and time into its development. It’s done very simply, by talking to prospective customers and seeing if what you’ve learned supports your product ideas or if you need to go back and rethink the product design (or, in the case of Crystal Pepsi, the recipe).
 It’s how startups can produce a great product quickly and economically and how established companies, like Apple, hit home runs year after year.
 It’s what The Discovery Platform is built for.
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.

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.
