I've always wondered why traditional startup databases lag behind - they hardly show any companies from 2024. Now I know why: identifying companies before they are publicly known is a tough challenge. 💪 I am incredibly proud of our team for building a stealth company radar that scans for new companies every night and evaluates their potential for venture capital investment. As a former VC, I would have loved to have such a tool to know about new companies before anyone else.
