Fill your innovation pipeline with the right startups
Finding startups is easy. Turning them into partnerships the core business uses is not. Scout wider, prioritize on evidence, and match every venture to a real business problem.

Find the startups you were never going to meet
Your deal flow is shaped by your network. Conferences, referrals, inbound pitches. The best fit is often a startup that never crossed any of them. AI agents scan the field around your search areas and flag ventures that match. The blind spot shrinks.

Open startups a door into your pipeline
A submission portal lets ventures pitch directly into your evaluation. Every proposal lands in one pipeline with clear criteria: strong ones move forward, the rest get an answer.

Scout fifty startups a week without losing the best one
Findings arrive through emails, conferences, and analyst reports. Two scouts chase the same startup, 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.

Connect global R&D teams on one operating system
Prioritize the pipeline collaboratively
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.

Match every startup to a business problem
The fastest way to lose a venturing budget is a core business that sees no connection to its problems.
Link each venture to the challenge it addresses. Share progress in views the units actually read. When budget season comes, the value is documented.
