"What Iterate is doing totally makes sense for (businesses competing in the digital world), large and small. The value of getting innovation as it hits the market versus waiting for three years is enormous in today’s rapidly evolving world."

~ Steve Papa, founder/CEO of Endeca, acquired by Oracle for $1.1 billion in 2011 (Boston, USA); currently Founder / CEO Parallel Wireless

"We are super excited to have set up a partnership with iterate.ai, an innovation/curation company that's based in Silicon Valley. In their (curation) work with us, iterate.ai is initially focused on five areas: ID management/fraud, authentication/identity, user interactions, debt collection, and building capabilities in the workforce."

~ Adele Every, Innovation and Portfolio Director, BREXIT lead at HMRC (British Government), Capgemini (London, United Kingdom)

"The entire innovation workflow happens inside Iterate.ai. Inside the Curate section of Iterate, we issue Challenges. Startups apply to work with us as we work alongside Iterate and it's AI-based search capabilities to scout and filter through the noise. We put all the startups -- and the incumbents -- into a Collection. Then we go through a grading process as we narrow down to that perfect technology fit -- the one that will best improve our business KPIs."

~ Leigh Stuart, Innovation & Partnerships Lead, Kingfisher Digital, Kingfisher PLC ($15 billion home improvement retailer based in the UK)

"Curate makes scouting, collecting and grading startups a highly organized process. When we trial a startup, leveraging PilotPass allows us to bypass several steps procurement and legal. Beyond getting a speed improvement, it saves time and money for the startup and us."

~ Tim McCue, VIce President eCommerce & D2C technology, Jockey International, Inc.

"I was in e-commerce for 14 years and have long believed that level of "noise" in the industry makes it very difficult for retailers to find the true ”value signals". Iterate allows enterprise executives focus on emerging startups that are making a real difference in this industry."

~ Simon Mutlu, Slack (Silicon Valley, USA), formerly with Liveclicker, Reflektion

"While Interplay was first built as a Microservices-based Digital Prototyping platform, it can now be used in production within Universal Commerce Suite -- an Omni-Channel Commerce solution powered by IBM WebSphere Commerce which delivers scalability, powerful personalization and flexibility for midsized and Enterprise organizations. We can now move assets built for a prototype in Interplay into the Universal Commerce production environment."

~ Manohar Durai, CEO, Cnetric Enterprise Solutions (Vienna, VA, USA; Bangalore, India)

"Iterate helps large companies harness digital innovations and will allow Ulta to tap into technology talents by curating technology partnership opportunities. the company will enable Ulta rapid prototyping and gives the retailer access to the startups most suited to Ulta's needs."
