Companies pivot in order to focus their products on COVID relief.

While there’s reason for any founder and CEO to be concerned, we’ve seen our Innosphere client companies face these times with resiliency and leadership. In some cases, our client companies have recently raised funds and are focused on product development, while others are pivoting in order to focus their products on COVID relief.

A few examples of Innosphere companies providing COVID-response solutions to their clients include:

  1. ResourceX, a company providing powerful analytic tools to implement priority based budgeting using data to transparently improve results for citizens and communities, is providing financial forecasting tools to their clients as scenario planning becomes more important than ever for local governments.
