Decision-making on approval and budgeting processes for new projects tends to be top-down in most companies. In contrast, crowdfunding uses the "wisdom of the crowd" to make funding decisions and is successfully used in the public scope (e.g. Kickstarter). SparkX is an enterprise crowdfunding platform that adapts this successful crowdfunding model to leverage its benefits in the enterprise context. This platform complements the traditional top-down decision-making to allow employees to collaborate on funding breakthrough ideas. SparkX helps to engage employees, promotes open innovation, revitalizes the culture intrapreneurship and sparks collaborative innovation from the bottom up.
