Spot the stars before they shine—Inven’s new People filter gives you the inside edge, helping you discover high-potential startups by tracking what matters most: exceptional founders.
This powerful filter lets you search for companies based on the people behind them, combining criteria like past work experience (e.g., ex-Unicorn employees, serial founders), current titles (e.g., CEO, owner), company details (e.g., industry, private/public), and even funding stage. This helps you effortlessly find specific types of companies and the key individuals driving them, for example, founders nearing retirement in a specific industry or founders with prior successful exits now starting new ventures.
Curious how it works? Let’s break it down.
