Koble claims that its data-driven Software as a Service (SaaS) tool helps accelerators and incubators streamline their selection process so they can focus on the most promising founders. The company's vision is to price early-stage startup risk and reward. It intends to move from a Software as a Service (SaaS) workflow tool to the startup-investor marketplace. Koble asserts that pre-seed and seed investors lack a quantitative approach in the early stage of recognising promising startups. Koble argues that its approach is different; it claims that its algorithms are built to mimic the decision processes (both analytical and intuitive) that humans go through when analysing a startup. The tool collects structured, well-tagged data that is not available in the public domain and power the first algorithms that can predict startup success. The company envisages three exit options, namely launching an IPO, avail buyout offers from big technology entities and avail buyout offers from financial buyers.

Lenderwize provides working capital to telecom wholesalers. It asserts that large telecom operators pay on sixty days whilst suppliers are paid on seven days; hence the middleman suffers an average -53 day Cash Flow Gap (CGP). Lenderwize also argues that banks do not understand the telecom industry because a phone call is not a tangible asset such as real estate; hence they provide little help. Lenderwize solves this problem. It has developed a financial technology platform that certifies 'Proof of Service' that includes real phone calls, real invoices and the quality of delivered services. Its typical clients are mid-sized operators having annual revenue of 50-300 million USD. Lenderwize sells to large Tier 1 Operators (Originators) and buys from smaller (Terminating) Operators. It has identified 1350 wholesalers in need of $96 million. Lenderwize intends to exit within four years and sell its business to potential buyers such as large telecom operators, alternative finance funders, and banks seeking innovation.

Medwise.ai uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to answer questions for clinicians faster than they can respond to. It asserts that currently, doctors cannot keep up with the latest research evidence making them unable to provide the best care for their patients. It also points out that health care providers in the UK, such as the NHS, are losing £5 billion every year due to the lack of adoption of evidence-based best practices. Medwise.ai aims to change this by utilising the latest transformer-based neural networks and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to extract answers from multiple sources and support clinicians to make the best decisions for patients. Medwise.ai argues that unlike traditional search engines that provide a user with a list of websites or documents, medwise.ai's portal and app provide bite-sized, actionable, and evidence-based answers extracted from trusted sources. The company is envisaging an exit through an acquisition by a publishing company, an Electronic Health Records (EHR) company, or a pharmaceutical company.
