Decision-grade data gives you a complete, current, and reliable view to find, screen, and track companies across the life of your programme.
Early-stage coverage
Full coverage that starts before the first funding round
Full coverage of UK private companies from incorporation — no funding threshold, no minimum headcount. The pre-seed, pre-revenue, three-person ventures that make up most programmes are all present and searchable.
Smarter screening
Screen applicants or tenants within the platform
Persons with significant control, group structure, charges and director track record in one profile, so eligibility and due-diligence checks stop being a tour of five separate websites.
Long-term visibility
See what’s become of every venture you’ve backed
Survival status, headcount, funding raised and filed financials for each company in a cohort, updated without anyone answering a survey. Track a 2015 intake and a 2025 intake side by side and show what actually changed.
Common challenges faced by accelerators and incubators
Contact lapses the moment a venture exits the programme. For older cohorts you may hold little more than a name — and the one number your funder asks for, how many are still trading, becomes educated guesswork. Survival status, headcount, funding raised and filed financials keep updating for every company you have backed, without anyone answering a survey.
Snapshots get re-keyed by hand at six, twelve and twenty-four months into a spreadsheet or an Airtable base. It absorbs a full day and still won’t produce the headline figures leadership wants. Put a cohort in a Collection instead and it is monitored for you, so a 2015 intake and a 2025 intake can be reported side by side.
Most ventures on a programme are pre-revenue, unfunded and under ten people. Databases keyed on funding rounds or a minimum headcount simply don’t hold them, so the cohort you actually support is the cohort you can’t look up. Our coverage of UK private companies starts at incorporation — no funding threshold, no minimum headcount.
Persons with significant control from Companies House, a round of desk research, a separate anti-money-laundering check, then the same again for the next applicant — before you have even assessed the business. Persons with significant control, group structure, charges and director track record sit in one profile instead.
Sourcing leans on inbound and reputation rather than any repeatable process, so the pipeline is only ever as wide as the network — and there is no warm route to the founders you haven’t met. Search across sectors, stages and geographies to build a repeatable shortlist of companies at the right stage for your programme.
Help your team identify high-potential participants, monitor cohort progress, and screen applicants with confidence.
