Have some funds that need to be spent so any ideas for tools or tech in the $5K-$15K range?<p>Think stuff like language processing, social media analysis, "big data" tools, software development quality or productivity enhancers, visualization libraries, anything neat/novel/cool, etc. etc. etc.?<p>Maybe your startup is selling something I should know about?<p>Thanks in advance.
Love the name "innovation facilitation" - one of the big things we've been working on at Buffer is called "Buffer for Teams" - in short, it's a way where you can suggest content to share on team members social accounts and people can swipe it (<a href="http://bufferapp.com/daily" rel="nofollow">http://bufferapp.com/daily</a>) to approve or reject. Especially PR launches, announcements, blogposts, etc, that more people at your company want to share could be helpful - pricing is very early and less of importance to us, (your budget sounds good) - if you're interested in exploring this, please ping me leo@bufferapp.com - we currently have a few people trialling it and they seem to get a lot of fun, value from spreading news more widely about a company.
Visage.co could be interesting. We're focused on bringing data visualization to the content marketer while adhering to brand guidelines.<p>Andy@visage.co if it sounds interesting.
The best tool is a tool that solves a pain point in your organization. Find the pain point, then figure out a tool to solve it. If it doesn't solve a pain point, no one will use it.
