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.

In this case, I’m talking about a fundamental restructuring of how software gets built and deployed.

What founders get wrong about speed and scale

What founders get wrong about speed and scale

Every founder faces the same question: how fast should you go? In conversation with our Venture Partner, Duleepa “Dups” Wijayawardhana, we explored why so many startups struggle to balance speed, quality and scale, and how to get it right (at least most of the time). As Dups puts it, for every rule there is an exception, and for every exception there is something to learn.
