The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on what your competitors are doing, who's funding them, who they're hiring, and where they're expanding means digging through news and databases by hand. Important moves can happen without you noticing until it's too late to react.

Who it fits

Startup founders, business strategists, or corporate development teams tracking competitors.

How it works

  1. Competitor company data is pulled on a set schedule
  2. Funding rounds, leadership changes, and hiring trends are identified
  3. The findings are organized into a structured record
  4. Updates are logged and available for review
What you get

Competitor funding and leadership moves you notice

You keep a running, organized record of competitors' funding rounds, leadership changes, and hiring trends so you're never caught off guard by their news.

What you get

An organized record of competitor funding, hiring, and leadership activity.

What you need

A CrunchBase API subscription and a ClickUp account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
