Disruptors Power Scouting




A. Objectives.
• World's most comprehensive scouting process for disruptive innovation/companies in your industry.
• We can arrange a SharkTank-like process (they pitch & you select the best for acquisition, licensing, etc).
• We can usually find them Before they accept venture capital which increases the cost ten-fold.
• Same or lower costs than doing it internally, plus material advantages below that cannot be replicated.


B. Our Unfair Advantage: Better Deal Flow.
1) Largest Angel Group Network. Over 95% of the 250 angel groups in North America are members of and many report their deal flow to our parent organization (AngelPool.org) which provides us with visibility into much of the over 23,000 startups applying to these angel groups yearly (we see key IP and innovations first before VCs when you can acquire or invest at FAR lower prices, immediately upon VC funding the price usually goes up 10 fold). Corporate investments and acquisitions are highly symbiotic to the angel groups' efforts, providing additional seed capital, distribution and often early exits to the angels.





2) Largest Accelerator Network. Over 80% of the 200 accelerators in North America are members of and report their cohort companies to our parent organization (AngelPool.org) which provides us with visibility into over 6,000 startups going through and graduating from most key accelerators. For many of the remaining 20% we have direct relationships or our staff attends their Graduations, Launches, and Demo Days (again we see most key companies and disruptors Before VC funding which immediately raises the price to acquire or license 10 fold). Most of the top accelerators below participate or we have access through angels that attend their launch events plus hundreds of others:





3) Largest University Tech Licensing Network. We have established relationships with most of the Top 150 university tech licensing offices and access to their key patents and innovations in near real time once posted or announced.





4) Consolidated Crowdfunding Search System. There are now hundreds of crowdfunding sites listing over 300,000 startups seeking capital. How can you time efficiently monitor these hundreds of crowdfunding sites for disruptors and technologies of interest? We have developed CrowdScout™, a specialized Scouting search technology that continuously checks across all the crowdfunding sites automatically based on keywords to alert us of new listings in your areas of interest. That triggers us to take a closer look at interesting new companies to see if they might be a strategic fit worth investigating further.





5) World Class Referral Partners. The majority of the top 25 tech firms in the world and over 50 top venture capital partners sit on our parent organization's advisory boards. This world class referral partner network provides us with a continuous flow of high quality deals and referrals.
