- 11.30.2006
Inventables is a highly inventive local company that helps other companies — including top guns like Nike and Procter & Gamble — innovate. How? By collecting fascinating gadgets, tools, screws, magnets and other offbeat paraphernalia from all over the world and presenting them in Innovation Centers. The goal: turn expectations upside down.
The company currently has five full-time and nine part-time employees, and a total of 65 customers, many of which are household names. The company has three different service offerings — the Informer, the Insider and the Innovator — for annual fees that range from $63,000 to $250,000. Their cutting edge Innovation Centers, which are placed in high-traffic areas at companies to encourage free-thinking and on-the-spot brainstorming, feature 60 different technologies and are updated each quarter.
