There is a startup trend and these new way of creating business is now the new trend. Everyone is looking at the next big thing, IE the next big startup. Many investors and corporations often require a comprehensive, real-time global view of emerging technology businesses. Entrepreneurs in particular can raise a bigger initial investment round by researching the market and demonstrating that the startup is associated with a lesser risk.
In addition, budding entrepreneurs may want to investigate the landscape and indentify potential competitors and role models. As a member of a startup, you’ll have to jump through lots of hurdles, but when it’s time to report to investors or to pivot your business, you will have to interpret internal and external market data, which is crucial to justifying your choices. Sensitive external metrics were had to come by or came with a hefty pricetag. Would’nt it be easer to have all that information in one place?
