Founder story
innosabi was founded in 2010 in Munich, Germany, by Catharina van Delden, Jan Fischer, and Hans-Peter Heid. Recognizing that traditional, closed enterprise R&D cycles were slow and disconnected from market needs, the founders built innosabi to enable open innovation and crowdsourced collaboration for global corporations. The company was acquired by Collaboration.Ai.
