The whole distance,
end to end.
A strategic position has to travel a long way: from a faint signal that a company matters, through a relationship worth having, to terms worth signing, to an asset worth holding. Most programmes drop it somewhere in the middle. This one carries it the whole way.
Four handoffs are where programmes die.
Sourcing hands to analysis. Analysis hands to outreach. Outreach hands to legal. Legal hands to portfolio. Every handoff loses context, time and the relationship. Removing them is the entire design.
Continuous origination
A ranked, current view of the companies extending your ecosystem — maintained continuously rather than assembled when someone has time.
Always current
The view is never a snapshot from last quarter. What you open today reflects where the market actually is today.
Ranked to your mandate
Relevance is measured against the categories, stages and geographies you said matter — not a generic notion of a hot company.
Beyond the obvious
Coverage extends past the companies already on every corporate development list, which is precisely where the generous terms still are.
Carried negotiation
The distance between a good candidate and a signed position is a sequence of conversations nobody has time to carry. That is the work this absorbs.
Conversations that continue
First contact, follow-up and response handling are carried through — so promising relationships do not quietly expire in an inbox.
Terms, not tasks
What reaches your desk is a structured proposal with the instrument, the shape of the position and the reasoning already assembled.
Market pace
Opportunities move at the speed a founder expects, which is the speed at which strategic goodwill is still worth something.
Uncompromising governance
Speed is only an asset when it cannot commit you to anything. Governance is the layer that makes aggressive coverage safe to run.
The approval gate
Every commitment stops and waits for a named human decision. There is no configuration that removes this.
Hard limits
Mandate boundaries and spend ceilings are enforced where the work happens, so they cannot be exceeded by accident or ambition.
Complete attribution
Who decided, when, and on what basis — recorded permanently and readable by your auditors without a request queue.
From faint signal to held asset
Six states. One record. No restarts.
Surfaced
A company appears as relevant to one of your mandates and enters the view with its reasoning attached.
Qualified
It clears the thresholds you set. Anything that does not never consumes your attention.
In conversation
The relationship is opened and carried, with every exchange captured against the position.
At the gate
A structured proposal reaches you as a decision: approve, decline, or send back for changes.
With counsel
Approved terms and their full history move to your legal team for execution.
Held
The position joins the portfolio, where its value is tracked for as long as you own it.
Approvals should not wait for a desk.
The decisions that matter most are made between meetings, in transit, and on a phone. The approval gate is built for exactly that moment — the full position, the full reasoning, and a decision you can make in thirty seconds without losing any rigour.
- Every surface is designed for a phone first and scales up, not the reverse.
- Positions, reasoning and decision history are fully legible on a small screen.
- Approve, decline or request changes without opening a laptop.
- Nothing important is hidden behind a desktop-only view.
Partnership warrant
Applied intelligence · Seed
Add coverage without adding chaos.
Running more mandates should widen your reach and deepen it. Territories are unlimited and shareable, so breadth and concentration are not a trade-off, and one ledger keeps the result legible.
Parallel mandates
Run as many mandates as your ambition requires, each operating simultaneously and independently.
Shared territories
Any number of mandates may hold the same category, stage and geography, and one mandate may hold it repeatedly — the mechanism behind building a roll-up rather than a lone position.
One portfolio ledger
Realised and unrealised value across every position, in one view rather than four spreadsheets.
Instant pause
Stop everything, or one mandate, immediately — without losing any position or any history.
What changes on day one
Representative perspectives from the functions this platform is built for.
The shift was not that we suddenly found better companies. It was that the ones we already half-knew about stopped going cold while we were busy.
Everything used to live in one person's inbox. When they left, the pipeline left with them. Having one record that survives people was worth the project on its own.
What our legal team wanted to know was whether anything could reach a counterparty without review. The answer being a structural no is what let this get approved.
Perspectives are representative of the functions served and are not attributed to named individuals or clients.
Platform questions
What evaluators ask about the platform itself.
What do we have to operate?
A mandate and a decision. You define what qualifies as strategically relevant, and you decide when terms reach the gate. The coverage, qualification and relationship work in between is what the platform absorbs.
Does this replace our corporate development team?
No — it removes the part of their job that does not scale. Coverage and follow-through are mechanical; judgement, relationships and the decision itself are not, and those stay with your team.
How quickly is it useful?
As soon as a mandate exists. The first qualified view is available immediately, and coverage compounds from there rather than requiring a long configuration project.
Can we export everything?
Yes. Positions, terms, conversation history and decision records export cleanly on request. Your record of your own pipeline is never held hostage.
What happens if we pause?
Activity stops immediately and nothing is lost. Positions, history and decisions remain exactly as they were, ready to resume when you are.
