Startup scouting

Our scouting methodology enables us to detect the most promising startup cases for you. BV4 is well connected in the startup ecosystem, has a proprietary database that it has built up for the last 10 years with over 13’000 startups and has access to all relevant databases and events.

BV4’s rating methodology is based on scientifically proven startup success factors in four dimensions: team, product, market, and business model and was developed together with the University of St. Gallen. Our ratings are executed independently and objectively to ensure the comparability of the different startup cases. To this day, we have assessed over 3’000 Startups and are continuously tracking them in our database.

Our efforts go well beyond pure research. Thanks to our extensive network, we make sure to connect you to the founders of the best startups and have a chance to evaluate a potential investment or collaboration.
