SOURCE QUALIFIED STARTUPS
① Turn a brief into a validated shortlist, not another long list to filter. ② Qualify every candidate against your real criteria before it reaches you. ③ Move from search result to first meeting without burning weeks in between.
You are not short on candidates. You are short on a shortlist you can act on with confidence.
AI made the long list longer, and harder to act on.
Your team spends weeks filtering before anyone makes a call.
Every campaign qualifies differently, with no consistent standard.
Candidates look good on paper, then fail the first meeting.
Decisions slip while momentum and internal credibility drain away.
A brief is rarely the whole story. Novable extracts the explicit and implicit criteria behind it, the constraints, the dealbreakers, the readiness requirements, so qualification starts from what you actually need, not just the keywords you typed.
Every candidate is scored on two dimensions: how closely it matches your brief, and how ready it is to engage with an enterprise. Set your thresholds, and the shortlist reflects them automatically. No more cleaning a list to find the candidates worth a call.
An analyst reviews every shortlist before delivery, applying sector judgment a model cannot. What lands on your desk is a set of decision-ready candidates, each with an ERL score and a clear rationale for inclusion, built to be presented and acted on.
Feed venture clienting pipelines, open innovation challenges, and strategic initiatives with candidates your leadership will take seriously. Present a shortlist you can defend, and a process that scales across every campaign without losing rigour.
Fill your cohort with collaboration-ready startups assessed against your entry criteria. Apply one consistent standard across every reviewer, and give your sponsors a selection trail they can see and trust.
Innovation and program leaders across energy, industry, FMCG and technology rely on Novable to source validated deal flow.
NOVABLE x VERBUND X
VERBUND X, the innovation arm of Austria's leading energy company, faced challenges with traditional scouting methods that couldn't keep pace with the rapidly evolving energy landscape. By partnering with Novable, they transformed their startup discovery and evaluation process using AI-powered capabilities.
The result: €10,000 cost savings per scouting campaign, 7.5x reduction in external scouting costs, and a strategic investment emerging directly from the collaboration.
