startup trends, measured
Where startups and venture capital are heading
Startup Radar tracks 20,502 companies across six accelerator portfolios, classifies each one into a fixed taxonomy, and follows what happens to them next - which clusters are rising, which are crowded, and where the windows are open.
Tell it what you do and it finds ideas that fit you, checks how crowded they already are, and sums up a founding team. Works here, or from your own Claude through the connector.
