From pain point to pilot, without the chaos

GlassDollar is the platform enterprise innovation teams use to capture needs, find the right startups, and prove what worked, while every business unit can search and submit on their own.

Trusted by 4,500+ innovators

Most innovation teams are stuck managing chaos, not solving problems

Wrong solutions get shortlisted. Briefs stay vague. Pilots launch and quietly go nowhere. And at the end of the year, there is no clear proof any of it worked.
GlassDollar exists to fix that, end to end.

Built for the whole organization, not just the innovation team

Innovation managers run the process and keep full visibility across every project. Business units do not wait in line. They define their own needs and find matching startups directly, then feed straight into the innovation manager's backlog.

Collect Pain Points

Define your need
Any team can describe a pain point in plain language and turn it into a structured brief, ready to act on.

Find Solutions

Find matching solutions, fast
Search GlassDollar's dataset of 20M+ companies to surface relevant solutions in minutes, not weeks of manual scouting.

Evaluate Companies

Benchmark and build confidence
Compare shortlisted companies side by side and pull in stakeholder input before committing budget or time.

Run PoCs

Manage PoCs without losing the thread
A customizable Kanban board keeps every PoC visible, from kickoff to result, so nothing stalls quietly in someone's inbox.

Report Impact

Prove what worked
Built-in analytics turn pilot outcomes into a clear record of impact, the evidence leadership actually asks for.
