Stop building what a startup already offers
Are you overlooking the solutions already being built externally? Use ITONICS to scout innovative partners, manage proposals, and evaluate fit with collaborative ratings, workflows, and radar views.
All proposals in one place
Findings arrive through emails, conferences, and analyst reports. Two scouts chase the same startup, and a third one slips through. Capture everything in one place, evaluate against shared criteria, and see who already talked to whom. Nothing promising falls between inboxes.

Open startups a door into your pipeline
You can’t solve tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s network. Publish your most severe challenges on a public page and invite startups to pitch their ideas. Use ITONICS to manage submissions and turn proposals into partnerships.

Prioritize the startup pipeline with the business
The most visible startup is rarely the best fit. Hype follows funding rounds, not your use cases. Score each venture on fit, maturity, and growth potential with expert input. Share the shortlist and receive instant business unit feedback.
Find the startups not on your radar right now
Your network shapes your deal flow. Conferences, referrals, inbound pitches. The best fit is often a startup that never crossed any of them. ITONICS Prism scans the field around your search areas and flags ventures that match. The blind spot shrinks.
