The Extovate Story

Working with startups and new technologies as a corporate innovator can be extremely difficult. Lack of in-house expertise, mismatched expectations, and slow decision-making alone can derail these partnerships before they start. As startup and corporate innovation veterans, Sean and Neil realized that getting corporate innovators key information in a timely manner would lead to faster and more effective execution. Extovate was born to get innovators quick access to decision-relevant information as easily as possible.
