Minerva transforms how public procurement opportunities are discovered by automating tender sourcing, analysis and documentation, making public contracts faster and more accessible to companies of all sizes.

Public procurement makes up 20% of the EU’s GDP yet remains one of its least digitised markets. Minerva enables organisations to find the right opportunities and navigate the complex public procurement process more efficiently and strategically with artificial intelligence. Its platform streamlines every stage of the tender lifecycle by automating repetitive tasks and centralising information, removing challenges such as scattered data, lengthy documentation and poor visibility into relevant tenders.

Since then, we have taken dozens of first meetings, explored more than 15 verticals, backed our first deals, and sharpened our thesis along the way.
