Scouting New Tech
Smarter scouting, greater success
Sønr connects insurers with the startups, scaleups, tech and innovation that matters. Our platform tracks over four million companies globally, powering scouting, opportunity matching, and readiness checks. Each startup is evaluated for enterprise scale and strategic fit. This process creates targeted pipelines, reduces risk, and helps clients execute partnerships more effectively, moving from exploration to engagement with confidence.
From global search to enterprise-ready partners
Startup Scouting
Clients can scout through Sønr’s platform or by working with our research team. In both cases, searches are shaped by a clear understanding of your challenges and opportunities, ensuring relevance from the outset.
Scouting can be domestic or global, within insurance or beyond it, and draws on our intelligence to surface who is active today and who may soon enter. The result is targeted, evidence-led recommendations aligned directly with business priorities.
Opportunity Matching
For clients working with our research team, scouting sprints produce curated longlists and scored shortlists aligned to business priorities. Our analysts involve your teams in evaluation, making sure recommendations are both strategic and practical.
Deliverables include detailed company profiles and prioritised lists, giving leaders clarity on where to focus and ensuring effort is spent only on the most promising opportunities.
Solution Readiness
Each shortlisted company is assessed for maturity, scalability, and ability to deploy at enterprise level. Findings are presented in structured scorecards, giving you a clear view of where solutions sit in their lifecycle – what’s ready to scale and what still needs development.
To add depth, we can also conduct interviews with vendors directly, or arrange and sit in on them as required. This reduces risk and helps you focus on the strongest opportunities.
Partner Viability Assessment
As part of our Venture Clienting work, we help validate whether a partner is the right fit for your business. We look at the team, the tech, the financial stability, and growth potential, combining hard data with deeper qualitative insight.
Working within structured frameworks and workshop environments, we often find that the best partners don’t just meet requirements – they also challenge assumptions (in a good way!) and open up new areas of opportunity. This reduces risk while expanding potential.
