Venture capital origination

The founders worth backing are visible months before the round.

Jude tracks thousands of signals on every company, finds the ones growing on their own, researches each, drafts the approach and keeps the record current. Your partners meet founders months before the round opens.

Below is one introduction from the companies Hyper finds to the reply a partner sends. Both sides shown, so you can see exactly which parts stay with your partners.

Illustrative example
  1. A segment view. The filter reads software companies, headcount up by a third this year, no institutional round on record. Thirty-one businesses found, five rows listed, and Fernwave Software's row is lifted and held.

    Hyper reads the growth before the market hears about it.

  2. Fernwave Software's record, stage Researching. Three signal lines: forty-one roles advertised since January, second office opened in Manchester, founder-funded to date with no round on record.

    Thousands of signals tracked. The three that matter.

  3. The same three signal lines, now dimmed to grey, sitting above an email and a landing page generating side by side. The email's subject is Before the autumn gets busy, closing on the worded link how we work with founders before a raise. The landing page carries Fernwave Software in its own colours. A send counter reaches thirty-one.

    Hyper knows the shape of the moment. The email leaves the founder in charge of it.

  4. An Outlook inbox. Ewan Carswell's reply is open: we were planning to go out in the autumn, if talking to you now means skipping three months of cold meetings I am interested, how do you usually start. The original campaign email is quoted underneath it.

    The founder replied because early was exactly right.

  5. A Teams chat with Jude. Three messages: Ewan Carswell has replied, the hiring run and the Manchester office explain why Hyper wrote in, and a draft reply is already in Saoirse's Outlook drafts.

    Jude briefs you with the evidence, privately.

  6. Jude's draft open in Outlook, labelled Drafted by Jude. Saoirse has replaced two of our founders are happy to take a call with Ask Mairi at Harthill how the first ninety days with us actually felt.

    Saoirse adds the one thing Jude could not know.

  7. The CRM record for Fernwave Software. The stage has moved to In conversation, a new activity line reads reply sent by Saoirse Doyle and logged by Jude, and the next action is a partner call before the autumn raise opens.

    The record keeps itself.

  8. The closed record, held, with the closing line: Hyper finds the founders before the market does, your partners win the allocation.

    Hyper finds the founders before the market does. Your partners win the allocation.

Read the transcript

By the time a round is announced, you're in a queue. The founders worth backing were visible months earlier, growing in plain sight.

Hyper tracks thousands of signals on every company. The judgement is knowing which three matter, and when. Then it reaches the founder before the raise begins, in a way that leaves the founder in charge.

So your partners meet founders early, and meet them warm. The allocation goes to whoever arrived first with respect.

Hyper ran the engine. Your partners kept the relationship.

01 / THE ENGINE

Every company has a moment before the round exists.

Nobody can read the public record for every company in the country by hand. The companies worth finding are the ones growing on their own, before a fundraise brings them to every firm's attention at once.

Hyper finds that cohort and researches each one. Your firm sets what counts as a fit.

What Hyper prepared

The cohort and the campaign

  • Thirty-one companies matching the firm's own criteria, found among many.
  • Three researched signals on Fernwave before a word was written: the hiring run, the second office, the absence of a round on record.
  • An email and its own landing page, generated together, carrying Fernwave's own name rather than the firm's.

What the firm decided

The criteria and the line

  • The shape of company the firm actually wants to back: software, headcount growing, no institutional round yet.
  • That the approach never quotes a signal back to the founder and never presumes a raise on the page.
  • That every page carries the founder's own name and colours, never the firm's.

02 / THE FOUNDER'S WORLD

Ewan replied while Saoirse was between meetings.

A reply from a founder is easy to leave until the next quiet moment, and the next quiet moment can be the moment another firm gets there first. Jude does not let it wait.

Jude reads the reply, checks the record and drafts the answer. The partner adds the one thing only she can say.

What Jude prepared

The brief and the draft

  • Read Ewan's reply the moment it arrived and checked it against the record.
  • Restated the evidence behind the approach in a Teams message, privately, naming the facts.
  • A drafted reply in Saoirse's own Outlook drafts, answering how Ewan asked to start.

What Saoirse decided

The reply that was sent

  • Replaced Jude's generic offer of a call with a named founder reference.
  • Approved and sent the reply, under her own name, within the hour.
  • The relationship, which stays hers from the first call onward.

How the work splits

The work Jude takes off your partners' plate.

  • The watching. Jude tracks the signals across your whole market, so your partners hear about a company while it's still growing quietly, and spend their time on founders instead of lists.
  • The approach. The first email arrives drafted in the firm's voice, and it waits on a partner's word before it goes anywhere under their name.
  • The record. Every reply, note and next step files itself, so the pipeline is current without anyone maintaining it.

Your partners bring the judgement and the relationship. Jude brings the cohort, the research and the record, early.
