Standard "Startup" lists are 90% real estate rentals and coworking desks. Our AI agents verify in-house engineering headcounts, specialized portfolio spin-out velocity, and active fund-partner tiers to find verified Corporate Studios, Startup Factories, and Geo-Builders.
Why firmographic filters miss the high-velocity factories.
Targeting "Incubators" returns thousands of businesses with zero dev budget. You need to know what they code and how they fund.
If you are selling dev tools, high-end SaaS perks, or executive search, you need the builders:

We extract these "Building Signals" to help you find the factories.
If you sell a B2B SaaS tool, filter for venture builders with high traffic but no "Exclusive Perks" or Loyalty Portal mention.
Pitch: "Unlock higher founder success by providing your portcos with an automated, White-label perks portal verified against enterprise standards..."
We distinguish between companies that invest in startups and companies that build startups.
This ensures you don't waste time on a local business coach that happens to have a "Studio" category on their blog.
