Five rounds of scouting checked known sources and found new companies.
Case Study · Partner Identification
Identifying partners for self-cleaning indoor surfaces.
A provider of hygiene and cleaning products wanted partners or acquisition targets in photoactive materials that clean indoor surfaces under visible light. We filled the gaps in what it knew and recommended the companies worth contacting.
The Client
The client is a provider of hygiene and cleaning products looking at photoactive materials and nanoparticles. Few firms had studied photocatalysts for interior self-cleaning, and the client wanted to be early.
The Challenge
Find the makers.
Prove the effect.
