How Alchimia Investments is using Sifted Pro to source new investment opportunities

Challenges

For Alchimia Investments, it was critical to find a source of intelligence that focused on early-stage startups and VC funds across Europe — topics not covered on any other platform. 

The investment company was looking for an information source that could help it identify potential opportunities and source promising startups to work with, whilst providing a unique perspective on the market.
