Provides instant, structured insights from multiple sources with minimal effort, saving time and reducing research fatigue, with versatility for multiple use cases like funding, recruiting, and interview prep.
Launch Strategy:
Create a simple MVP that pulls data from publicly available sources, test with early adopters, gather feedback, and iterate. Promote via startup communities, social media, and targeted outreach for initial users.
