About Coopsaas

Built by people who have done the scouting themselves.

Coopsaas is the systematic scouting workflow for corporate innovation teams. It exists because we lived the spreadsheet chaos, and decided there had to be a better way.

Our mission

Coopsaas makes corporate innovation systematic.

Scouting, evaluation, collaboration, and venture clienting run in one AI-assisted workflow, so teams move from business challenge to the right partner faster and with more confidence.

Most innovation teams still run their scouting across search engines, spreadsheets, consultant decks, and inboxes. Weeks of work end up in files only one person can find, and decisions are hard to trace back later.

We bring that work into one place. Your team describes the business challenge, reviews matched company profiles, evaluates them together against shared criteria, and keeps what every project taught you. Every challenge you frame and every reason you had for saying no compounds into judgement the next project can draw on, instead of leaving with whoever ran the search.

Our vision

A world where every company can find, evaluate, and work with the right innovation partners to solve its most important challenges.

Search engines and personal networks keep returning the same familiar names, so the field looks smaller than it really is. The better answer is often somewhere less obvious: an established supplier, a research spin-off, a company in an adjacent industry that solved the same problem years ago. Finding it, judging it fairly, and getting to work should be a repeatable process rather than a lucky one.

What sets us apart

Not another startup database.

A workflow, not just a database

Millions of company profiles matter only when your team knows what to do with them. Coopsaas guides every project from business challenge to shortlist, step by step.

AI-assisted, team-decided

AI reads your brief, suggests search directions, and drafts evaluation criteria. Your team makes every call, and every score shows its reasoning.

One shared workspace

Longlists, ratings, notes, and decisions live in one place the whole team can see. No more five versions of the same spreadsheet.

Built for corporate reality

Decisions you can defend in front of stakeholders, and exports that drop straight into the slide decks and spreadsheets your company already runs on.

How Coopsaas started

First our own tool. Then everyone kept asking for it.

Coopsaas began as an internal tool. Christoph and his team built it for themselves, to scout open innovation projects without drowning in spreadsheets and browser tabs.

What started as a way to keep their own projects organised grew into a complete workflow: guided search, shared evaluation, and a record of every decision. It worked so well that they opened it up to every innovation team facing the same pain.

That origin still shapes the product. Coopsaas is built by people who understand the pain points of scouting first-hand, and who care about one thing above all: making systematic scouting efficient and guided.

The team

From one scouting team, for all of them.

We are a Berlin-based team combining innovation management, engineering, and business development. Every feature starts from a question we once asked on a real scouting project.
