innovation.net is where VCs invest into innovations moving faster than the market can see them - sourced from our accelerator, university cohorts and pre-raise signal engine, a median of 71 days before they open a round. Verified, founder-consented, reserved for member funds.
A live cut of Monday's memo. Company identities, founder profiles and data rooms unlock on membership - the blur is the product.
Why locked? Founders consent to being surfaced on one condition: identities are only visible to verified funds. That protection is why they appear here months before they'd answer a cold email.
Pre-raise signal across 40+ sources - hiring velocity, grant wins, repeat-founder incorporations, design-partner traction - plus the accelerator pipeline and cohorts presented by 23 university partners.
Every company is screened by our investment team: founder reference calls, revenue verification where claimed, cap table sanity check. Roughly 6% of tracked companies make the memo.
When a company opens to investors, member funds get a defined allocation window with warm, founder-consented introductions - ordered by thesis fit, not by who refreshes fastest.
A ranked, thesis-matched cut of new signal every week - pre-seed and seed companies scored against your fund's mandate, cheque size and geography.
Every intro is founder-consented. Your associate never sends another cold email that starts with "I came across your company."
Priority access when tracked companies open a round - including pro-rata visibility on bridge and extension rounds inside the network, and a front-row seat at VC Day.
Annual membership, billed to the fund. Every tier includes verification - we confirm you're a genuine institutional investor before anything unlocks.
How joining works: pay, then verify. We confirm fund registration or accreditation within 48 hours. If verification fails, the charge is fully refunded - the memo stays locked for anyone we can't verify. Cancel any time; access runs to the end of the paid term.
A public digest of early-stage signal - sector heat, notable pre-raise movements, and one anonymised deal teardown from the members' memo. No identities, no allocations. Enough to know what you're missing.
Membership is limited to verified institutional investors - funds, family offices and corporate venture arms. Join today; verification completes within 48 hours and next Monday's memo arrives unlocked.
