About IdeaZen
Ideas deserve an audience. Companies deserve to hear them.
IdeaZen is the public place where people tell companies what to build, and companies show they're listening.
How it works
One loop, out in the open
- 1
Post
Anyone shares a startup idea or a feature request.
- 2
Vote
One vote per person surfaces what people really want.
- 3
Respond
Companies reply officially, in public.
- 4
Ship
Statuses move to Shipped, and voters see it happen.
Our mission
Close the gap between the people who use products and the people who build them.
Great ideas show up everywhere: support tickets, forum threads, late-night notes. Most of them disappear, and the people who had them never find out whether anyone listened.
IdeaZen gives those ideas one public home. Votes show what people actually want, and companies get a clear signal, plus a way to respond that everyone can see.
What makes it different
Closing the loop is the product
An idea isn't done when it's posted. It's done when a company replies, plans it and ships it, and everyone who voted can see that happen.
Public by default
Most feedback tools live behind a company login. Here, people come first and companies join the conversation.
Free for people with ideas
Posting, voting and commenting never cost anything. Companies pay only for tools to run their page.
What we value
Openness
Ideas, votes and responses happen where everyone can see them.
Collaboration
Great products come from people and companies building together.
Integrity
One vote per person. Unofficial company pages are clearly labeled.
Inclusivity
Anyone can post an idea, whether or not they can build it.
Impact
Success means ideas that get an official response and ship.
Empowerment
A direct line to the companies that shape your tools.
