AI deal sourcing for VCs

From 50,000 companies to 15 IC-ready deals.

Thesis-driven AI deal sourcing for VCs who actually want to cover their market. Your investment criteria, encoded once, applied to every company in your sector.

<1%of your sector ever gets a real look
The problem

Most of your market never gets looked at.

Tens of thousands of companies in your sector; even a sharp team reads a few hundred a quarter. Every call comes from a sliver — the rest stays invisible.

A funnel is only as good as the thesis behind it.

Every pass, kill, and score you just watched traces back to one thing — your fund's judgment, written down.

That's your VC DNA.

Your VC DNA

Your thesis, encoded segment by segment.

FlowHive first groups every company into the segments you care about — usually by industry — then applies exactly what you want inside each one, and what you don't. The deeper you go, the sharper it gets.

The CVC wedge

The only deal funnel that knows you're a CVC.

Generic VC tools treat all funds the same. FlowHive treats parent-company strategic fit as a first-class dimension. Encode “must integrate with our stack” and “must not compete with BU X” directly in your DNA.

Why our AI doesn't make things up.

Evidence-tiered rules.

Static-data rules only fire at Stage 1. Deep-research rules only fire after enrichment in Stage 2. No hallucinated verdicts on thin data.

Deterministic verdicts.

The model evaluates each rule item; the system computes pass/fail. Same inputs → same answer, regardless of who clicked run.

Per-criterion audit trail.

Every green/red has a written reason and source. IC questions get answers, not memos.

Questions a skeptical partner asks.

Those are signal-discovery tools — they find hot deals via growth signals. They do not apply your thesis. FlowHive sits downstream: accept their output as input, then enforce your investment criteria.
No. FlowHive sits upstream of your CRM. We send you a shortlist of investment-ready companies with reasoning attached. Your CRM still owns relationship intelligence and pipeline tracking.
PitchBook, Crunchbase, Dealroom, and manual imports power the live Stage 1. Roadmap stages add Firecrawl website crawls and LinkedIn enrichment as they ship.
We align with your procurement and compliance requirements. All scraping providers are configurable; we recommend BrightData-class providers with proper legal posture.
A two-week DNA workshop to encode your thesis, then your first Stage 1 evaluation runs within four weeks. Deeper research stages roll out as they ship.
Yes. Strategic-fit constraints become optional. Sector-specialist institutional VCs and sovereign innovation funds use the same product.
The funnel

Your thesis, applied top to bottom.

Thousands of companies pour in. Each stage filters on your encoded criteria. A handful arrive IC-ready.
