Services / Startup Search
Identify innovative Startups. Participate in private pitches
We identify and validate emerging ventures against your specific technical and
commercial criteria, so you engage only with startups worth your time.
Validated ventures that meet your criteria, ready to engage.
Pre-commercial and early-stage ventures not visible through your current network and reach.
Every startup is validated against your technical requirements, commercial stage, and strategic fit before you see it.
Each result includes funding stage, team background, and technology readiness level, so you know who youʼre dealing with.
Direct connections to the founding team. They know NineSigma is bringing serious partners.
How each startup compares to established players and to others in the shortlist, so you can prioritise fast.
For each top startup, we recommend the right engagement model, pilot licensing, investment, or co-development.
Does the technology match your challenge specifications and TRL requirements?
Is the startupʼs business model, pricing, and go-to-market strategy credible?
Does the founding team have the skills and track record to deliver?
Does the startupʼs direction, IP ownership, and partnership model align with your goals?
A 30 to 60-minute scoping session with a technology and/or business development lead. You define the challenge, criteria, and desired engagement model. We handle everything else.
The strongest results come from pairing Technology Search with the intelligence that sharpens the search or reveals where the solution could create further value.
