We do the sourcing and screening so you do not have to. Every company we bring you has been scored and matched to your specific investment criteria.
Every company is scored on a 100-point framework across Product, People, Market, and Capital. You receive the full scored report, not a pitch deck and a hope.
We map your thesis — sector, stage, check size, geography, structure — and only bring you companies that fit. You set the parameters once and we filter to them every time.
Every introduction comes with a full evaluation report, executive summary, and our routing rationale. You walk into the first conversation already briefed.
When Ironwood introduces a company, you receive a complete deal package built by our team, not assembled by the founder the night before the call.
We do not send deals that do not match your thesis. If we have not spoken to you about a company, it is because it did not fit your criteria. You will not hear from us until we have something worth your time.
Every company is reviewed for seven mandatory disclosure items — litigation, cap table cleanliness, regulatory issues, and more — before we make any introduction.
