Deal sourcing built for Corporate VCs.
Parent-company strategic fit, treated as a first-class evaluation dimension. Encode “must integrate with our stack” and “must not compete with BU X” directly in your DNA — and get a defensible answer for every company.
Your whole sector, straight from the data you already license — every company you could conceivably look at.
The same pipeline every fund runs — only here, parent-company strategic fit is one of the rules applied at every stage, so “is this good for our parent?” gets answered on every company. Stage 1 is live today.
Your IC has one question no tool answers.
“Is this good for our parent?”
It’s the question every kill and every advance gets re-litigated around. It decides your standing with the BU heads. And it’s the one question no off-the-shelf VC tool can help you answer systematically.
Strategic fit, baked in. Not bolted on.
FlowHive lives where your investment thesis meets your parent’s strategy — every company scored on both.
Typed strategic constraints
mustHave, to_exclude, desired — first-class fields in your DNA, not a free-text note bolted onto the end.
Strategic fit at every stage
Judged in Stage 1 alongside industry and stage, then re-examined with deeper context as a company advances.
Briefs your strategy team can read
Per-criterion rationale a BU head can open and understand — without a venture analyst translating it.
Three constraint types. Total flexibility.
Strategic rules are typed and explicit — each one a statement, a reason, and a verdict you can defend.
Strategic fit stops being a hallway debate. It becomes a rule — applied the same way to every company.
The biggest CVCs built this in-house. The rest got nothing.
The largest corporate venture arms — the GVs and Intel Capitals of the world — built internal tooling to capture strategic-fit constraints. The middle market never could. Generic VC platforms (Affinity, Specter, Harmonic) treat every fund the same, corporate or not. FlowHive is the only commercially available platform built CVC-first.
You shouldn’t need a hundred-engineer team to answer “is this good for our parent?”
One platform, three CVC mandates.
Innovation sourcing for the parent
Surface companies whose technology accelerates the parent’s roadmap — not just whatever the market is hyping.
Supply-chain adjacency scouting
Find companies that strengthen the parent’s supply chain, scored on that fit from the first pass.
Defensive competitive scanning
Spot companies whose growth threatens a parent BU’s revenue — while they’re still small enough to matter.
If two of these sound like you, we should talk.
No form, no submission — just a gut check.
Tick the ones that sound like you. Two or more, and we should talk.
The rest of the platform.
Scale & Coverage
Review your entire sector with one thesis applied to every company — not the few hundred a team can read by hand.
