Every team used to scout and pilot in their own corner. We were duplicating efforts and missing opportunities. Yumana gave us one shared partner portfolio. Now we work in sync, with full visibility and fewer missed connections.

Frequently asked questions

Why switch from Crunchbase or in-house scouting?

Because generic databases waste time. Yumana integrates Novable’s AI-powered scouting to deliver curated, best-fit startups, no more digging through outdated or irrelevant listings. You get expert-validated shortlists tailored to your brief, with zero noise and faster selection.

Why is a SRM software critical for corporate venturing teams?

Without a centralized system, most venturing teams end up duplicating scouting efforts, missing ROI opportunities, and losing valuable partner history every time roles shift. It’s why 85% of PoCs never scale, not due to startup quality, but internal fragmentation.

How do we know if our open innovation efforts are delivering real impact?

Yumana includes dashboards that track your pipeline maturity, project success rates, business outcomes, and even adoption of external solutions across the company. You’ll have clear KPIs to prove ROI, not just count collaborations.

Can we tailor the evaluation process to match our internal workflows?

Yes. Yumana lets you fully customize workflows, stage-gates, scorecards, and validation steps, so your open innovation program aligns with your governance model, whether you're managing a global dealflow or a local pilot.

What makes Yumana different from using tools like Excel, Teams, or Airtable to manage our dealflow?

Generic tools weren’t built for open innovation. Yumana combines startup scouting, workflow management, partner tracking, and ROI reporting in one platform. No more scattered files, manual tracking, or missed opportunities to scale a great solution.

How does Yumana help us keep our startup referential up to date and reliable?

Yumana goes far beyond static databases.
The platform continuously improves the quality of your partner referential through smart insights and automated alerts. It flags startups that have disappeared from the market, assigns a health score to indicate momentum or inactivity, and suggests lookalike companies to enrich your ecosystem.

When a partner pivots or changes its value proposition, Yumana prompts your team to review and update its profile, keeping your data relevant and actionable.
