—The website Shepherd Express profiled Ideawake, a Milwaukee-based startup that’s developing software to help medium- to large-sized businesses improve employee engagement. The company’s software tools are designed to allow managers to post topics and ideas, and solicit their colleagues’ feedback. Ideawake represents a new spin on a startup that has been around for a couple years. Founder Coby Skonord originally called his company Inventalator, and had sought to create a digital forum where inventors could share concepts for new products, and allow others to comment on them.
