AI-Driven Partner Ecosystem Management

HYPE Partnering helps you scout startups, universities, mature enterprises, and manage external partners from first contact to pilot results. AI-powered search, semantic matching, and smart summaries accelerate decision-making and reduce duplication. Create a single source of truth for external collaboration and build high-impact partnerships across your organization.

Startup Scouting

 

 

Scout potential startups to partner with through AI-powered search

  • Find the right partners faster with AI: Use AI-powered startup search and semantic matching to identify relevant companies and solution providers—even with vague input or incomplete queries.

  • Leverage global innovation data: Access millions of startups, technologies, and organizations across industries and maturity levels, including external sources like Trendone and FIBRES.

  • Decide based on data, not gut feeling: Evaluate potential partners using structured profiles, AI-generated insights, and automated relevance scoring.

  • Run open calls for collaboration: Publish a branded landing page where startups and external innovators can submit proposals directly—streamlining inbound scouting and expanding your partner pipeline.

 

Manage all partnership information in one place

  • Build a structured partner database: Store contacts, NDAs, emails, meeting notes, and documents in one central place—linked to each organization.
  • Ensure full transparency across teams: Give everyone access to the latest information, from initial contact to pilot outcomes.
  • Avoid duplicate work: Reuse shared knowledge and past interactions to prevent redundant outreach and repeated tasks.
  • Track the full partnership journey: Monitor progress from first meeting to active collaboration and turn touchpoints into long-term value.

HYPE Innovation Consulting

Get support from our innovation consulting team. HYPE’s team offers full support for your innovation program, from strategic planning to hands-on implementation.

Innovation missions

An innovation mission is the first step in finding a solution to a problem. It’s issued by an internal stakeholder and owned and worked on by the scouting team.

Topic Clusters

Topic Clusters are powerful objects that help gather and assess information such as organizations, news items, patents, and experts around a specific topic.

Evaluation tools

Assess partnering candidates with a robust set of evaluation tools to find the best option. Use templates for quick setup or define your requirements.

AI-powered search

Find relevant information about potential partners by crawling a robust database of organizations, news sources, patents, podcasts, websites, experts, and more.

Request for proposal

Instead of searching for partners, let them come to you. Publish a webpage where external parties can submit their proposals based on your requirements.

Internal search

Sometimes your colleagues are already working with a partner that could solve your challenge. HYPE makes finding existing partnerships across your organization easy.

Business Value KPIs

Tracking success has never been so easy: Based on forecasted revenues and costs per opportunity, you measure your partnering program’s contribution to your organization’s performance.

Drill-Down

Go from high-level to detail with a single click: HYPE KPIs offer to click down from aggregated numbers to the underlying data.

MS Office Exports

There may be situations when you just need the data outside the system. HYPE charts can easily be exported to Excel and partner profiles can be downloaded as a PPT slide deck.
