Decision Support ToolsOn-Demand Analysis

For VCs & Angel Investors

Screen new opportunities with speed & efficiency
The opportunity cost is too highYour time is too valuableFocus your talents on what matters most

The Problem: "only about 1% of proposals received by VCs are funded."*The Solution: Norvian Strategy can help streamline this part of your decision-making funnel.

Screening deal flow is essential.
Spending senior investment time on every opportunity is not.VCs must evaluate a large volume of opportunities to identify the relatively small number of startups worth advancing to deeper diligence.

VCs reported spending an average of 22 hours per week networking and sourcing deals—about 40% of a 55-hour workweek.*
