The Challenge

Startups and investors struggled to connect efficiently amid fragmented networks, manual matching, and lack of SDG alignment. Founders wasted time cold-pitching mismatched VCs, while investors sifted through irrelevant opportunities. Incubators, job seekers, and co-founders operated in silos, slowing ecosystem growth and impact delivery.

The Solution

CreatVenture designed and launched The Sharks Web as a unified platform replacing scattered outreach with intelligent, SDG-focused matching. Startups showcase profiles with TRL, valuation, and SDG alignment; investors filter by stage, sector, and impact goals. AI-driven recommendations power Pitch Party events, co-founder matching (Partner Pulse), job boards (Career Quest), and community feeds—creating a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem.
