Innovation Scouting
Leveraging our network of more than 40 incubators, accelerators and startup programs globally, we filter startups based on your unique strategies and needs, then cull down the millions of innovators to a small group of hand-picked disrupters. We make it easier to know what’s out there, spot emerging threats and identify candidates for partnerships, strategic investments and acquisitions.
Inbound Briefings
Executives overwhelmed by a high volume of inbound sales and partnership inquiries equally struggle to efficiently identify the best opportunities to drive innovation in their business. Click to learn more about how SoftMatch can assess these leads for you and brief you on what matters most, saving you time and helping you to make better decisions, faster.
Strategic Advising
We help our clients go further than just knowing what’s out there. Our team stays involved by managing your newly uncovered disruptive ecosystem, whether that is further advising on a specific match, developing corporate innovation programs, or facilitating startup pitch days and hackathons at some of the world’s leading accelerators.
