Custom Workflows

We turn your investment thesis into bespoke sourcing workflows, not generic filters, so every result is shaped around how you actually underwrite deals.

Thesis-driven origination

Robust Verification

Every company is validated through multiple checks — website, ownership, relevance — so your team isn’t stuck manually verifying weak or misleading leads.

High confidence, low noise

Aggregated Signals

We combine LinkedIn activity, news, and deep website analysis to surface nuanced, off-radar companies that traditional databases miss.
