Venture IQ

Succesful partnerships or investment returns are as much about picking the winners as avoiding the losers. The quickest return you will make is on the investment in an objective and comprehensive screening process. The chance that an unsolicited approach will yield a winner is extremely low, which means that pro-active scouting is the only way to go. However, proactive scouting is time and resource intensive.

We've learned this lesson in over forty years of combined international VC and private equity experience. Our goal at Venture IQ is to increase the impact of innovations and improve investment returns by ensuring partnering and investment decisions are made based on the right information.

We help our customers quickly get a complete overview of a sector and then drill down into the most interesting companies. We do this using a data-driven approach and extremely large, global datasets. These include global patent and indexed URL databases that give us (and you) access to millions of companies. Our online platform Catalist helps you find companies, structure data, adjust and build company profiles, screen and collaborate with your colleagues and run your dealflow process. Essentially the tool that we would have wanted to have as investors!

We offer software and services. If you'd like to boost your scouting activities or outsource scouting and initial screening, our team of analysts is trained in company analysis and geared to giving you superior insights.
