From Scouting to Validated Decisions
Novable is a startup intelligence platform built for large organisations that require more than search results. We combine structured validation, proprietary data and expert oversight to deliver decision-ready startup candidates.
The Challenge
Artificial intelligence has dramatically simplified startup discovery. But raw startup lists are no longer sufficient. Uncertainty carries risk. What matters is structured validation.
Generating lists, summaries and overviews is now fast and accessible to everyone.
Without structured validation, decisions are based on incomplete or unreliable information.
Enterprise teams need decision-grade intelligence, not just search results.
Our Approach
Novable integrates validation directly into the scouting process, combining proprietary technology with structured human oversight.
Our proprietary engine matches startups based on their actual activities (not just keywords) ensuring relevance grounded in real-world signals.
We enrich every candidate with proprietary signals, validation metrics and structured scoring systems designed for enterprise decision-making.
Novable Experts provide qualitative assessment and contextual insight, adding a critical layer of judgment beyond automated analysis.
When required, we engage directly with companies to validate assumptions, clarify positioning and conduct deeper analysis aligned with your needs.

"We decided to work under a corporate mentoring strategy. We work on the corporate, on a venture clienting model, and we identify challenges in the company, in the different business units and challenges that are strategic and innovative that can be solved by startups. And then our role with Orange Fab is to look for the startups, thanks to Novable, to boost them into the Orange ecosystem."

Head of OrangeFab BeLux
"Each year we look for startups that are big enough to collaborate with Orange, based on a specific thematic. Novable helps us in this search, providing us with the right insights, and saving us a lot of time."
"This year, the goal was to move away from the usual 40,000 steps of walking the entire fair, and instead focus only on targeted interactions with pre-identified prospects. I started in Hall 1 and worked my way through, and it made a huge difference. Being able to rely on Novable’s searches to identify relevant companies, find their stand numbers, and go directly to them was incredibly efficient..."
"Novable has been a valuable partner in bringing more structure and relevance to scouting. It helped us not only identify hidden gems and potential collaboration partners, but also explore new markets and uncover new revenue opportunities in areas linked to our industrial solutions activities..."
