The Spencer Trask Value Creation Network

Join our network and use open innovation to build a new company

Over the last two decades, Spencer Trask has honed a structured Value Creation process that works. Time and time again, people in the Value Creation Network have added just the right amount of direction, the right management team, the right investors and the right corporate oversight to transform a new idea into a leading-edge company. It doesn’t happen overnight; it can be messy and is often painful. But when it works, it’s big – really big – creating companies that change industries and the world in which we live. We’ve learned from experience – lots of it – that the Value Creation Network substantially improves the odds of success, reduces the time to market and dramatically increases the value of new companies.

How You Can Get Involved

Today we’re using open innovation and the Internet to power our Value Creation Network. Working with InnoCentive, the world leader in challenge-driven innovation, we’re able to tap brilliant minds across industries and across the world to help companies solve technical problems quickly and efficiently. inno360 allows us to conduct primary research in rich veins of the internet that are closed to most users. VenCorps allows us crowdsource a vast network of users to quickly discern which new ideas have merit and why. Metavana helps us to understand user sentiment in real-time so that companies can quickly modify new products.
