Discovery / Sourcing

Find opportunities through the signals your fund values.

Commission models and agents that reflect how your team maps markets, researches founders and decides which emerging companies deserve attention.

01 / The opportunity

The signal is only useful in context.

A company-building signal means different things to different investors. The models and agents your fund commissions should use the sources, sector definitions and thresholds your team actually trusts.

Custom engagement area / not an off-the-shelf product

02 / How this workflow really operates

A sourcing feed is not an investment strategy.

Two firms may see the same newly formed company and reach different conclusions. The useful system is the one that understands which categories merit investigation, how evidence is qualified and when a team wants to act.

Design question / 01

Which company-building events matter in your markets?

Design question / 02

Where do you already look, and where are your blind spots?

Design question / 03

What is enough evidence to justify an analyst review?

03 / What a fund might commission

Designed for a defined job.

The specific model, agent behavior, integrations and sources would be agreed for the engagement. These are illustrative applications of the approach.

01 / Application

Custom sector maps

Maintain research on emerging submarkets, companies and ecosystems that fit your mandate.

02 / Application

Founder and company tracking

Watch selected founders, teams and companies for developments worth reviewing.

What a tailored engagement could look like

A sector-focused fund wants emerging teams surfaced using its own terminology and source priorities. A tailored agent collects approved signals into a review queue. Analysts assess the evidence and decide what enters the pipeline.

07 / Design boundaries

Specific scope. Clear review.

The model’s responsibilities, evidence requirements and approvals should be explicit before the build begins.

Accountable person

Partner / Principal / Sourcing lead

Review boundary: Analyst validates the signal and decides whether the company belongs in the pipeline.

Why tailored: Juno provides a ready-to-use discovery environment. A commissioned sourcing model is developed around a fund-specific mandate, research logic and approved sources.

  1. Differentiate a signal from a verified investment opportunity.
