InnoBee is the world's first peer-to-peer innovation management platform — free to start, AI-powered, and built for the entire innovation ecosystem.
InnoBee is the world's first peer-to-peer innovation management platform — free to start, AI-powered, and built for the entire innovation ecosystem.
Unlike traditional innovation management software (which is typically deployed on-premise, expensive, enterprise-only, and sales-gated), InnoBee is:
☁️ Cloud-Native and Freemium-First
Anyone signs up and launches a challenge within minutes. No sales call. No deployment overhead.
🤝 P2P Core
InnoBee's P2P Ecosystem makes direct transactions possible. The same person who creates a challenge today can participate in someone else's challenge tomorrow. There are no rigid organizational hierarchies. Every user inhabits every role the ecosystem demands and gets rewarded for their innovative efforts.
🏆 Challenge-Led
Challenges are the atomic unit of innovation activity on the platform. Everything else - teams, submissions, evaluations, wallets, reputations, certificates, portfolios, analytics - orbits around challenges. InnoBee offers 50+ challenge types across 9 categories for the entire innovation lifecycle.
💡 Ecosystem-Driven
InnoBee is not a tool. It is an ecosystem. Users develop innovation reputation over time. Their Hive Score, their portfolio, their badges, and their wallets grow with participation. The more you contribute, the more powerful your position in the ecosystem.
🚀 End-to-End
From idea inception to funded proof of concept, ISO-certified innovation management maturity, and market-ready execution or commercialization, InnoBee covers the entire innovation lifecycle without forcing hand-offs to external tools.
This round funds InnoBee's transition from a fully-built, live product to a scaled, revenue-generating platform. Funds go toward:
Sales & marketing to convert our early-adopter base into paying enterprise and subscription customers
Engineering hires to accelerate our scale & performance roadmap (CDN, caching, load testing to 10K+ concurrent users) and deepen i18n coverage
Enterprise go-to-market — a dedicated push on our SSO/white-label/multi-org offering, which is built and live but not yet actively sold
Legal and compliance overhead as we formalize contracts, data-processing agreements, and our own regulatory footprint
New-market entry into Asia and the EU.
The main issue InnoBee focuses on is the lack of a direct payment infrastructure within the innovation ecosystem
Organizations running innovation programs — corporate innovation teams, hackathon organizers, and independent founders alike — are stuck stitching together spreadsheets, generic project-management tools, and manual, one-off consultants. The worst-behaved piece is peer-to-peer payment: challenge creators wire prize money by hand, with no clear communication with winners, no support for international payments or tax complications, no transparent refund/cancellation workflow, and platform fees as high as 30–40% for the privilege. On the compliance side, there's no accessible way for a team to actually work toward ISO 56001 innovation-management certification — it's consultant-driven, slow, and disconnected from where the actual innovation work happens.
InnoBee replaces that with real infrastructure: every user gets an innovation wallet (spendable cash balance, escrow, and InnoBee Coin), Stripe Connect handles payouts, and we charge a flat 10% — a fraction of the industry norm.
InnoBee unifies the entire innovation lifecycle in one platform: 50 pre-built challenge types across 9 categories with sensible defaults for rapid deployment; a real wallet/escrow infrastructure with Stripe Connect payouts and a flat 10% fee; an ISO 56000-series compliance workspace with AI-guided (Queen AI) gap analysis and readiness scoring; a 6-pathway certification LMS; AI-facilitated Swarm simulations for team decision-making under pressure; and a pitch-deck builder with a live Investor Readiness Score — end to end, not point solutions bolted together.
Additionally, InnoBee's innovation marketplace (BeeShop) allows for a diverse range of innovation products and services to be purchased and sold on demand.
Innovation wallet: 3 balances (spendable cash, escrow, InnoBee Coin) with Stripe Connect payouts and a flat 10% fee
50 challenge types across 9 categories, each with pre-filled defaults
Advanced challenge management toolkit: offering a wide range of capabilities to the organizers to manage different aspects of the challenge
ISO 56000-series compliance workspace with Queen AI guidance and readiness scoring — internally and externally boosting readiness and collaboration
Swarm simulations — single and multiplayer "War Room" decision exercises
Scalable LMS with 6 certification pathways (3 individual, 3 organizational)
Pitch Deck builder with a live Investor Readiness Score and public investor-facing page
BeeShop — the innovation marketplace for bundle
Hive Score reputation system + BeeShop coin economy driving engagement
Enterprise-ready: SSO/SAML, white-label subdomains, multi-org support
Innovation Portfolio: an overview of all innovative projects on the platform with advanced analytics and reporting system
Community system: searching, filtering, messaging, networking, following, leaderboards, public feeds, innovation archetype reports, public profiles, and public portfolios
Core platform is live and production-hardened: passwordless authentication, wallet/escrow/Stripe Connect payouts, the full ISO 56001 workspace, all 50 challenge types, the 6-pathway LMS, the pitch-deck system with Investor Readiness scoring, Swarm simulations, and enterprise SSO/white-label/multi-org are all shipped.
The platform supports 6 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese) and has passed a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility review on its highest-traffic surfaces. Furthermore, the platform is "aligned" with ISO 27001's 46-layer audit for information security (self-assessed, not certified).
Currently in progress: systematic performance and scale hardening (CDN layer, database read replicas, load testing to 10,000+ concurrent users), deepening i18n/accessibility coverage across the remaining surfaces, advanced email automations, and consolidating the users' journey on the platform.
Two-sided: enterprise innovation, R&D, and HR teams running internal challenges, hackathons, and innovation programs who need compliance tooling and enterprise controls (SSO, white-label, multi-org); and the independent innovator/founder/VC ecosystem — founders raising capital via pitch decks, freelance innovators competing in open challenges, and VCs or accelerators sourcing deal flow — who need low-fee payouts, portable reputation, and investor-ready tooling. Each side makes the platform more valuable to the other.
InnoBee is founded by Mohammad (Co-founder & CEO), who owns product, marketing, sales, and partnerships; Rasoul Razghandi (Co-founder & CSO); with Altaf Shahid as Business Partner.
The founding team built and continues to operate the entire platform directly — architecture, product, and go-to-market — while also delivering real client innovation projects, giving them first-hand exposure to exactly the workflow gaps InnoBee is built to close.
CEO & Co-Founder
Mohammad co-founded InnoBee to make innovation management accessible to anyone with a good idea, not just large organisations with dedicated programs. He drives InnoBee's product direction and day-to-day execution, from the challenge engine to InnoBee Queen.
CSO & Co-Founder
Rasoul co-founded InnoBee and leads its long-term strategy — shaping how the platform positions itself across open innovation, corporate innovation management, and the ISO 56001 audit space as it grows.
Business Partner
Altaf partners with the founding team on InnoBee's growth and commercialization models — building relationships with early-adopter organisations, community partners, and the broader innovation ecosystem InnoBee is growing into.
A 4-tier subscription ladder (Free, Yellow Jacket, Queen, Diamond) gates platform depth — challenge volume, AI credits, and enterprise features — layered with a BeeShop virtual-currency economy (25 coins = $1) for engagement-driven micro-monetization.
The primary transaction-based revenue line is a flat 10% platform fee on real-money prize releases — a fraction of the 30–40% legacy challenge platforms charge — which scales directly with platform usage.
Post-raise, the plan is to convert the early-adopter cohort into paid subscription tiers and layer in flat-fee transaction revenue as challenge and prize volume grows across both the enterprise and open-innovation sides of the platform.
1,000+ active users on the platform to date, with roughly 50 early-adopter agreements signed across multiple countries and several active partnerships already in place — all built pre-revenue, ahead of this raise.
Land enterprise innovation teams through direct, sales-led outreach on the SSO/white-label/multi-org enterprise plan, while growing the innovator side organically through the forever-free tier's P2P ecosystem — Hive Score reputation, the Bee Network, and public leaderboards — which builds the large, engaged innovator pool that makes the platform more attractive to enterprise buyers. The two sides reinforce each other.
