"Efficient Investor Targeting with Easy Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

I like the UI of Inven; it's simple, and the results are solid. I can find relevant investors and easily see their portfolio companies. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

It would be great if financials were integrated across Europe. UK is a first step but this is easy to find. What would be helpful is if it could get financials in Germany, Poland, Italy etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Invaluable for Discovering Early-Stage Investments"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

I love that Inven is extremely easy to learn and it provides comprehensive results with a lot of data. It's robust and intuitive, which means I don't need to interact with customer service to use it effectively. The service helps me find relevant early-stage companies in which to invest, offering the raw data I seek on firms not yet known by other investors. The ease of setup made transitioning from other platforms like CB Insights seamless for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

I would like to have even better filtering based on my historical searches and automatically deducted preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Filtering with Inven"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

Getting started with Inven is very straightforward, and I’ve found their database to be among the most comprehensive I’ve encountered. The wide range of filtering options is impressive and makes it much easier for us to find and narrow down our targets. Also, some of the AI features like auto-match that saves companies into a list is brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

Ever since they introduced the people search feature, we've been very satisfied. It was the missing piece we needed to find the individuals behind some of the companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Find Niche Targets in Minutes, Not Days"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

A Game-Changer not only for Deal Sourcing - actually, very complete information are available - but also for Business Intelligence and Corporate Development purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

The precision and accuracy of the findings could be enhanced somehow - perhaps implementing some additional labeling feature or a sort of "wizard" guiding the user through the reaserch ("Q&A Approach"), while fine tuning the criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review: Inven and it's use as company database for global invenstment managers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

Been using Inven to fill out our CRM pipeline in order to sell our very niche investment products which only few investment managers have the mandate to invest in. Inven has been super helpful with this task ask the lists we've been able to produce with the tool have been way superior to bought premade lists or external business developers have been able to produce.

Some pros:

+ ease of usability of UI

+ Customer support

+ Size of the database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

When started using the product 2 years ago it still lacked some features that we were searching for, since then the team has implemented these with impressive speed and scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Setup with Valuable AI Features, Needs Better Search Accuracy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

I enjoy how easy it is to set up Inven; the onboarding process is clear with good materials and easily interpreted emails. It's a valuable tool for finding interesting companies, saving time by consolidating information in one place. I find it easy to use, appreciate the low pricing, and value the AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

I find the search accuracy to be lacking. It often produces a lot of irrelevant companies, which means I have to spend extra time manually filtering and searching for the right ones. This reduces efficiency and increases manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Inven opens up search possibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

Inven gives information on smaller & more private business that wouldn't be available otherwise without hours of manual search time, opens up the possibility to find companies that are perhaps more niche in their service offering simply by using a few key words without going through all websites across various searches the information is all there. Supported by data across various sources like LinkedIn & Website visit data. Filter by investor, or employee history - You can use AI to ask the list you'll create anything, and then export the data for your own analytics. It has made a very complicated process very easy. It is like having a team of analysts working beneath you, leaving you more time to scrutinize the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
