How does Ventur help VC funds screen startups faster?

Ventur automates UK startup due diligence by aggregating Companies House data, director checks, financial analysis, and risk flags into one report. This reduces screening time from 6 hours to 30 minutes per startup.

What red flags does Ventur detect for VCs?

Ventur flags disqualified directors, sanctions matches, late Companies House filings, financial distress signals, negative media coverage, and founder background inconsistencies.

Can Ventur verify UK startup founders?

Yes. Ventur cross-references director names with LinkedIn profiles, checks employment history, screens for disqualifications, and verifies director registration with Companies House.

The manual screening bottleneck

Investment teams waste 25+ hours weekly on manual data gathering.

Missed Red Flags

Manually checking Companies House filings often leads to missed late accounts, director disqualifications, or insolvency markers.

Slow Turnaround

Screening 50-100+ startups per quarter manually creates a backlog, delaying decisions and risking lost deals.

No Paper Trail

Lack of consistent, source-linked evidence for investment committees makes it hard to justify pass/fail decisions.
