STARTUP MARKET RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Turn a market question into a useful startup comparison.

Give a researcher a way to explore companies related to a topic such as healthcare technology, education, or carbon removal. Gather a focused group of recent startups, organize useful company and funding details, and prepare a comparative overview to help people see common themes and differences. Keep the underlying company records available and have a person verify important claims before using the findings in investment or business decisions.

The handoff

A structured shortlist of up to ten recent startups with company information and a comparative research summary.

Keep in mind

Company profiles and financial figures may be missing, stale, or inaccurate, and a generated comparison can overstate similarities. Check important claims against original sources and have a qualified person review funding and other financial information before relying on it for investment, budgeting, or commercial decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose research topics and company fields

Decide which markets to explore and which company details help answer the team’s research questions.

Set the shortlist size and recency rules

Keep source and financial context visible

Retain links and labels for reported details, especially funding figures and other information that may change.

Assign research and finance reviewers

Name who checks company claims and who approves use of financial information in investment or business decisions.
