USING DATA FOR BETTER STARTUP OUTCOMES We believe that ‘who you know’ never beats ‘what you do’. 77% of startup investment flows to those with connections and 87% of those startups fail. We use data to surface the best startups, and then provide direction to speed their success and get them noticed. 21st century problems require new perspectives. UNDERSTAND YOUR COMPANY’S VITAL SIGNS Predictive modeling and advising based on company profiles & critical KPIs. Why do companies fail? Two of the most common areas of failure are related to the team and product/market fit. Our proprietary framework allows you to better understand your company KPIs and team psychometrics in order to pursue the right strategies before it is too late. LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL FOUNDERS Fact: An inclusive founding team with diverse background makes startups better The more diverse your team is, the stronger your company becomes. Documented benefits include a richer talent pool, more inspired creativity, a stronger innovation culture and better problem solving. We tap into that power of the team by studying the psychometrics of a founding team, including things like grit, visionary and emotional intelligence.
