Startups.watch is a research platform that empowers you to fully understand trends, transactions and what’s next via tracking startup ecosystem.
Startups.watch has more than 110 tags. Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Insurtech, Autotech, Adtech, Edutech and Foodtech are just some of them. You can list private tech companies and corporate ventures with these tags, see how they're doing, whether they’ve received investment, whether they've been acquired, whether they're shut down, and more.
With the dashboard, you can list startups, founders, investors' portfolios, startup valuations, startup acquisitions, science parks and acceleration programs’ startup portfolios. You can also download all the reports, infographics and charts. You can also export a limited amount of startup, investment, acquisition data as an Excel file.
We’re the most accurate platform for Turkey since we verify all transaction data with the chamber of commerce data. Besides, our focus and continuous exchange of information with our ecosystem stakeholders make us perfect.
We constantly receive data about startups from investors, technoparks, acceleration programs and incubation centers. We also examine data from official institutions and constantly enter information. Entrepreneurs themselves also add startups from scratch. Investment data, on the other hand, usually comes to us from entrepreneurs and investors, and if it is not yet listed in the chamber of commerce website, we temporarily enter the information we receive, and then we update the information retrospectively when the official figures are listed in the chamber of commerce website.
Technically you can download all the data, but legal action is taken against those who download all the data. Therefore, if you are doing a research, we recommend that you go through a sample.
From the "Investors" section, you can go to the "Investment Firms" tab and select the verticals under "tags" from the filters to see which verticals investors are interested in. However, since generalist funds invest in everything, the best method is to look at the past investments of active funds.
If you are a verified startup, you can see the investors' application email on the verified investors' page. You should not use their email except for the investment application. We recommend you send them an email similar to this one.
No, we do not send mass emails to anyone or share email information. But verified startups can show a general email of their startup on their page so that investors can reach them. We do not interfere with that part.
This platform contains information about the funds, their fund size, ticket size, areas of interest, current investments, exits and GP information. However, if they have not officially shared this information anywhere or have not forwarded it to us, we leave those fields blank.
Our data is constantly being updated. The only task of 2 people in our team all day is to update data. As new information becomes available and new capital increases are made in the Trade Registry, historical data is constantly updated.
