A few of the 50+ case-studies
iTeach (India) came into Co.Creator with a failing idea. Turned around in 60 days, with sales, and raised $135,000 immediately.
EdPuzzle: CEO, Quim Sabria
Spain - $800K+ Funding - 8 week ROI: 7900%
Education In Sight: CEO: Andrew Shirman
China $80+K in funding - 8 Week ROI: 2500%
thinkLaw (US) had made sales of $18K in 4 months. In just 60 days through Co.Creator we redesiged their sales model, built product and customer development and led to firm sales of $65,000 and built a pipeline of $500,000K of immediate sales
Scope (UK) had a struggling service that was losing money and too expensive. Through Co.Creator we designed and delivered a prototype at a tenth of the cost with similar impact and raised £100,000 in 60 days.
Unique model
in the words of our customers
"We were drawn to your low-cost model of people innovation on a subscription"
"I enjoyed how you innovated with us, as co-founders, ensuring long-term skills building across our teams..." Stephanie Petijean, Head of Innovation
"I have a small central innovation team so we didn't have the capacity to support innovation as a culture/at scale. I had trouble finding innovation support programmes that weren't a one-size fits all (e.g. elearning courses, conferences) and that combined low-cost, quick wins and potential for systemic impact across our organisation - until I found Co.Creator"
Ruth Marvel, Director of Innovation
"How do we not just support (aka conferences and workshops) but actually help to create innovators, do it at low-cost, and across 30 countries, with short-term results. Answer = Co.Creator"
Alex Beard, Director of Systems Change
"Innovation labs (dedicated space, people, processes) are great, but ultimately they have to be passed back to the business to execute/scale. This handover is the weakest link. Virtual incubators allow us to help our business units deliver innovation better, faster, and with low-risk."
