Ideas2Innovate is a way for individuals and groups to grow ideas.

  • Simple
  • Stimulate new perspectives

Origin

In 2013 Julius Huijnk started building the app Idea Growr. A free android app for your ideas. Everything is stored offline on the device. It quickly became clear that online storage and collaboration was in high demand.

Idea Growr on Google Play

It took almost a decade to actually work on this online platform. I worked in user experience design and switched to software development in order to be in a better position to make it happen. I'm now growing my team to make this a platform that turns all our best ideas into our best future.

Our vision: Inclusive innovation

We create tools that allow and stimulate all of us to participate and design the world we want to live in. We aim to make it simpler, cheaper and more fun to participate and grow ideas regardless of prior knowledge about the creative process.

How to grow ideas

Ideas grow by catching them early and grow them in the right conditions. It helps if you are aware of the mindset that is required.
