When working with a startup, I really want to know
What other startups are in this space 1 to find the competition 2 understand what others are doing differently
Who is investing and in what stage 1 to figure out future sources of Funding 2 to see which areas are VC’s are investing in right now
So I combined 3 of the things I love 1)Crunchbase, 2)Pivot Tables and 3)Bootstrap
So in my app,
You search by category, investor or both… (Please put comma’s when using multiple)
The category search is a regex (Not ideal)
But it lets you see companies who are in the same space.
I thought its pretty cool… JS in the front end Php (believe it or not) in the back
I’m a CS grad student / Partner at VC firm I helped launch called A Level Capital. Which might help explain my interest.
