I looked at this space a few years ago. It falls under the heading of "competitive intelligence" in most companies. Ultimately I decided not to pursue it, basically because I saw what rivalmap was doing and realized the opportunity wasn't as big as I thought it would be for a similar idea. (Not knocking them, they seem to be very sharp guys who are executing well and very focused on learning their market)

Most likely to make any real money at this you're going to have to market to non start-ups.

The most knowledgeable person on this topic is August Jackson, @8of12 on Twitter. He runs the competitive intelligence podcast. Plus he's a great guy.
