Deal flow is infinite. Quality isn't.

The Problem We're Obsessed With

The Old Way

Most venture deals still start in networks, not search bars.

The median VC screens ~200 companies a year and invests in ~4—mostly sourced through familiar circles.

That leaves two gaps: founders beyond the network are overlooked, and investors lose time chasing fragmented, lagging signals.

The Pipen Way

Discovery starts with signals, not introductions. We surface opportunities from 50+ countries before they hit your inbox.

AI-powered intelligence processes 10,000+ velocity signals daily, identifying momentum before it becomes obvious.

Merit-based discovery replaces network dependency. The best companies rise to the top, regardless of geography or connections.

We've lived this.

Our founders worked at the intersection of AI and investing and felt the pain of manually stitching together market signals across continents.

So, we built the tool we wished we had—one that could surface promising startups globally, align them to an investment thesis, and act before others even noticed.

Capital isn't the bottleneck anymore — time is.

Every week, thousands of startups launch across the world, leaving behind digital breadcrumbs of their growth. Yet investors remain constrained by bandwidth and geography.

Pipen's vision is to create an agentic venture scout — an intelligent system that can discover high-quality companies, run diligence, reach out to founders, write memos, and even simulate portfolio impact.

A scout in every country. Always on, always learning.

So investors can focus on what humans do best: conviction, creativity, and relationships.

Because every great investor deserves a world-class venture scout.

Global by design.

Great ideas can start anywhere—so should your search.

Signal over noise.

Move first, before it's obvious.
