Case Study: Costanoa Ventures improves outbound sourcing and discovers high-potential startups with Harmonic

Costanoa Ventures uses Harmonic to power outbound sourcing across Seed and Series A

Costanoa Ventures, an early-stage VC firm, needed a more effective method for proactive opportunity discovery beyond traditional network sourcing to identify promising startups, particularly in specialized sectors like national security. They turned to Harmonic, utilizing its Console, Network Mapping, Semantic Search, and Notifications features to enhance their outbound efforts.

Harmonic provided Costanoa Ventures with a data platform that delivered granular insights, enabling the firm to systematically research markets, analyze trends, and identify high-potential founders who were not actively fundraising. This outbound strategy, powered by Harmonic, opened up a new world of potential deals, giving the firm a significant advantage in discovering top talent and building its portfolio with companies that might otherwise have been missed.
