July 30, 2021 5.0 I cannot imagine how much longer it would have taken and how much more it would have cost to launch our ideation initiative without the Skipso Labs platform. It has been wonderful to house all of the information and processes in one place. We were even able to utilize the standalone website as part of our rebranding this year. Pros Skipso's customer service is out of this world. The platform has more features and functionality than we have been able to utilize yet, but our pilot program has been a huge success. The ability to customize features and privacy levels has been essential given our unique audience. Cons Expect a learning curve for admins with limited back-end technology experience. Reason for choosing Skipso Skipso Labs was one of fifteen or so products our team looked at and one of five that were seriously considered. The value ratio (features and capability compared to cost) was much higher with Skipso than the competitors. Review Source DH Daniel H.

September 10, 2025 5.0 At eMerge, Skipso has completely transformed the way we manage our accelerator program. The platform allows us to operate more efficiently, deliver a better experience to founders and judges, and measure impact with far greater clarity. Every interaction with the Skipso team reinforces that they are invested in our success. Our experience has been nothing short of excellent—we couldn’t be happier with both the product and the partnership. Pros What I like most about Skipso is how seamlessly it covers the full lifecycle of an accelerator program—from application intake and scoring, to cohort management, to ongoing community engagement. The platform is highly intuitive, customizable to our specific workflows, and eliminates the need to juggle multiple disjointed tools. Even better, the customer success team (special shoutout to \[sensitive content hidden\]) has been outstanding. They’ve been incredibly fast, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions or support requests. It feels like having a true partner rather than just a vendor. Cons Honestly, nothing comes to mind. We’ve had a smooth experience with the product and the team. Highly recommend Skipso! Switched from [Gust](https://www.capterra.com/p/179913/Gust/) We needed a more full-featured product that also allowed for payment integrations. Review Source RC Rebecca C. Program Manager Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Skipso - Review" June 10, 2020 4.0 My experience with Skipso dramatically improved when \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] began working with us, she's been quick to answer any questions I have and has been very helpful with explaining how things work. Pros Both front and backend functionality in one platform including a public gallery, homepage setup, resource sharing, and information sharing on the FE and a submission portal, judging portal, payment feature on the BE. Cons The backend is not intuitive/user friendly. Data doesn't always seem accurate. Regularly need assistance. Reason for choosing Skipso Price Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Tech Offer & Matchmaking Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great innovation matching platform" August 21, 2019 5.0 We were able to set up a new service for our customers in a relatively short time, leveraging a lot of expertise and ready-made solutions. This helped us with customer engagement as well as market positioning as innovators. Pros Lots of custom support from the team, allowing us to build a B2B innovation matching system for our SME customers. Lightweight interface and as-a-service provisioning make this relatively easy to manage even within the context of large, cumbersome IT departments such as ours. Cons We could have used more support in the design phase, to help us focus on priority features and a long-term roadmap. Instead, we tried to do too much from the start, ultimately limiting the impact and usefulness of our service. Note: this is a client-side problem, but the supplier could help mitigate it with dedicated methodologies. Reason for choosing Skipso Proximity, flexibility, startup attitude, price.

With this platform, we offer a curated selection of cleantech funding opportunities, events, company profiles, resources, and more to our community. SkipsoLabs has been a true partner along the way, tailoring their unique ecosystem solution to our needs. They are a great team to work with. Pros SkipsoLabs' software is user friendly and includes a suite of features that fits our project requirements very well. We primarily leverage the SkipsoLabs innovation ecosystem platform for the cleantech community my firm manages. The searchable, customizable directories of both curated and user-generated content are a pleasure to work with. Cons My project required a number of dynamic relationships between different entities on the SkipsoLabs ecosystem platform (e.g., individual members associated with companies, companies associated with other companies, etc.), but there are some constraints around the number and type of dynamic relationships that are currently available without customization. However, the SkipsoLabs team is extremely willing to develop custom features and share improvements to their product among the client base once developed. Review Source TJ Thomas J. President Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong Innovation and Idea Management Platform " August 5, 2021 5.0 SkipsoLabs has been a strong partner to develop Empower Innovation, a large and growing innovation marketplace. The company is very responsive to improvement requests and suggestions. Pros It is easy for companies to create profiles to promote their offerings, get feedback from experts and collaborate with potential partners. Integration with CRM platforms such as Salesforce is streamlined. Cons Would like more flexibility to modify the look and feel and fields. Review Source JS Jessica S. Director, Operations Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Skipso is a great Challenge Management Product" December 1, 2020 4.0 Overall the experience with SkipsoLabs is great. Their customer service is responsive and open. Pros The features available through the software are a big reason why we initially chose and continue to choose Skipso to run our challenges. The ability to match startups to mentors within the system is important to us. Cons There is no user manual. Since we run annually there are many users that only use the software for a short period of time each year. We have to retrain people each year. Review Source CB Christina B. Business Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Our go-to for an integrated innovation platform" November 16, 2020 5.0 The relationships we have built up across the SkipsoLabs team has far exceeded my expectations - it goes well beyond a transactional relationship and is much more of a partnership to ensure our program needs are met. Whether its basic tech troubleshooting or bigger picture strategic discussions, the team are very willing and open to assist us build our innovation ecosystem and ensure we are optimising the use of our SkipsoLabs platform. Pros Having an integrated platform that has allowed us to run our open application & assessment process as well as provide an online tool to support the delivery of our tech acceleration program and build our innovation community. The personalised support throughout our platform build has been exceptional. Cons We've found a small number of functionality issues as we've gone through the stand-up process, however the team have taken these onboard and resolved them as quickly as possible. Reason for choosing Skipso We considered multiple other platforms but none of them provided the full suite of functionality that we were looking for - e.g. separately they provided certain elements such as open call & assessment, but not the other elements.

Fantastic sprint / review sessions. Agile working. Responsive to our needs and always make time for us. Pros It's adaptability and its ability to work around our needs, rather than having to follow a generic workflow. Furthermore, it looks neat and easy to navigate, as well as being highly configurable. Cons Difference in language from admin perspective to provider perspective, but this is just a minor issue, skipso are good at understanding our language and have provided a language guide for us to make sure we're speaking on the same term.

Pros An off the self package that could be tailored to our requirements Cons Being an off the self product it was difficult to map some of the processes need to the system but all have been accommodated perhaps not in the immediate way Reason for choosing Skipso cost, speed of set up and attention to detail.
