Challenge 1.

Seeing through noise to find real market signals

New categories emerge daily. It’s hard to separate hype from traction when company data is scattered, outdated, or thin.

Challenge 2.

Coordinating scouting across global teams

Strategy, Corp Dev, and Innovation groups chase overlapping opportunities. Fragmented tools and silos slow decisions.

Challenge 3.

Evaluating early-stage potential with limited data

Private companies (especially in new verticals) have sparse metrics, making it tough to assess fit, momentum, and risk.
