What is Canopy?

Canopy is a startup management platform that deeply integrates AI, to allow your team to make decisions, not data entry. Canopy is designed specifically for organizations running startup programs to centralize and automate their entire workflow—including startup sourcing, matching corporate needs with startup needs, tracking progress/milestones, drafting emails, listing potential partners of each of the startups, and many more tasks that took hours to complete before. Canopy relies heavily on AI, but you will never have to worry about unsupervised changes and losing control of your data. Canopy’s AI suggestions will always go through human approval, protecting any accidental updates and misinformation from AI.


Canopy has the following main functions:

  • Management of the whole program: track KPIs, record tasks on WBS, assign personnel to startups and tasks, and display up-to-date health scores of each startups

  • Manage startup: track KPIs and WBS specific to each startup, automatically log meeting records and generate tasks. 

  • AI Radar: Automatically create a list of potential corporate partners or investors of startups through live-web search and score compatibility. Based on the search, automatically generate cold emails dedicated to a specific corporation.
