How is this different than searching crunchbase or pitchbook for a list of companies?

Our goal is to help people discover, test and validate startup ideas. We believe that a powerful free-text search engine is the best way to achieve this.

At this time, we focus on helping people find companies via their product and service offerings and not so much on 'who they are' (i.e. company characteristics, investors etc..). This is a fundamental difference to those platforms you mention.

hmm the examples on the landing page are simply categories which crunchbase search has well.

I take it ya'll are indexing the descriptions and/or functions of the companies as well?

any query suggestions to highlight that difference in indexing?

great work
