Startup Investment Sourcing

Find startups that match your investment mandate.

Segro helps investors, angels, family offices, scouts, and seed funds source startups by sector, stage, geography, cheque size, and investment criteria.

Investors receive too many irrelevant startup pitches.

Too many startup decks do not match the investor's sector focus.

Stage fit is often unclear.

Geography and cheque size expectations may not align.

Founder readiness varies widely.

Investors waste time screening unfocused opportunities.
