The Forefront of Technological Exceptionality - Objective, Validated and Reliable Data Delivered in Real Time.
The five AI engines on which the Innodex system is based allow clients to assess companies over a long period of time and receive real time information, thus categorically differentiating it from any existing product or service.
The data is updated on a daily and even hourly basis and undergoes:
- An automated validation examining the information sources' credibility
- An automatic catalog of major events in the industry's and company's life
- Filtering of false information
- Unifying and standardization of external and internal information sources.
Joining Strong, World-Renowned Investors – the Israeli Innovation Authority, Yigal Tamir, Tim Draper, Prof Shimon Ulman and Others.

The Need
Unlike public assets, where company information is readily available, updated and monitored, privately-owned companies don’t conduct themselves with the same level of transparency and public exposure of information. When organizations, businesses or private clients want to buy products or services from privately-owned companies, invest or set up a partnership, they often discover it's hard to attain reliable, satisfactory information on the company's conduct and current state,
to enable them to make wise financial and business decisions. This is especially true in the case of small or newly established, less known companies.
The various existing commercial information companies can issue detailed reports on privately owned companies, but these reports are very expensive, take a long time to prepare and more importantly – they only reflect the company's current situation at the time of writing the report. Today, there is no market solution providing reliable, detailed, and updating info – real time info.
Additionally, when the public (company, organization, investor etc.) manages to attain or receive information, they mostly don’t know how to classify and interpret it. Often readers are not aware that they're reading sponsored content, or don’t know how to make links between company events and interpret their meaning in relation to the company's condition.
Innovesta identified the market's burning need for a technological platform that will automate the data harvesting and analysis, enabling real-time understanding of the state of privately owned companies.
The Solution
Innovesta developed an advanced AI technology offering clients in-depth, real-time information on private companies, allowing them to make wise business decisions.
The Innodex, the company's flagship product, creates a dynamic dashboard allowing clients to identify shifts, early warnings or success signs due to the connections made between the company, the business environment and external risk factors. Unlike existing products, which provide a 'snapshot' of the company's current state yet quickly become outdated, Innovesta provides a longer tracking process, addressing the global need to stay with the 'finger on the pulse' at any given moment.
The platform allows clients to independently check new companies, whilst the systems' complete automation provides all the relevant information immediately and at any given moment.

The Technology
Innovesta developed an AI-based and machine learning platform aimed at supplying users with a fast, interactive, personally-customized solution for managing their investment portfolio of privately owned companies.
The system is based on ongoing, real-time internal and external data harvesting in order to create a technology-based index of the company's risks and opp, outlining the company's development over time.
The system is based on four layers of data, gathered continuously and consistently:
- Internal and external company data harvesting (characterization, competition, market)
- External, macro-level signals (regulations, geopolitics)
- Client preferences
- Risk and assessment indexes
The platform runs algorithms from the world of AI, genetic algorithms and NLP (Natural Language Processing), identifying gaps and insight.
Innovesta's platform provides a response in the way of a tool for examining, comparing, tracking and helping the decision-making process regarding checked companies.
INNODEX – the company's signature product
Information Sources: every company's Innodex is automatically calculated via machine learning of information harvested from thousands of external sources (social media, articles etc.), as well as internal sources (information inserted by company clients).
AI Engines: five AI engines run on DATA, producing the following results:
- DATA categorization according to content, for example – fundraising events, product, management, etc.
- Information credibility and quality assurance – who wrote it? Is it a reliable source? What kind of post (sponsored or not)?
- Information unification – under a certain event
- Marking of the event's significance in the life of the company
- Sentiments analysis
Identifying Gaps and Insights: using DATA, we create a dynamic map of:
- Online conversations– news and social media
- Internal processes
- Comparison to competition, to category and to the specific company's industry
Innodex at Times of Crisis
The global coronavirus pandemic has woken a critical need of gaining an up-to-date, specific updates of companies' performance during crisis times. Innovesta was quick to respond and created a unique resilience index - the COVID-19 Resilience Innodex™ - CRI.
The Innodex helps clients better understand the coronavirus risks relevant to each company, and how sensitive or resilient each company is against these risks. Innovesta knows how to teach the engine to identify and measure risks and black swans such as business and technological changes, geopolitical crises, and natural disasters.
By adding these extra layers and translating them to a business context, the Innodex provides a clear, realistic view regarding privately-owned companies during a local or global crisis as well.
