Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about semantic startup search, profiles, and collaboration.

StartupSeeker is a semantic startup database and search tool for investors, founders, and scouts to find relevant startups, map competitors, and build focused shortlists faster.
Instead of matching exact words, semantic search matches meaning. That helps you discover startups that fit your intent even when they don’t use the same keywords you typed.
Profiles are designed for fast screening: company description, location, stage/funding signals (when available), key links, similar companies, and quality/fit indicators so you can decide what to open next.
Yes. Describe a product, ICP, market, or a specific company and we’ll surface close matches and look-alikes so you can map the competitive landscape quickly.
VC Finder helps you build an investor list by scoring VC firms against a startup’s stage, industry, and geography. Paste a startup website, review the match score, then tweak inputs and rerun to refine.
We combine structured datasets with publicly available signals to generate profiles and rankings. Treat results as decision support—always verify critical details (like funding or stage) before outreach.
Yes. Save startups and VC firms to lists so you can share, revisit, and export a shortlist when you’re ready to move from research to outreach.
Yes. The assistant can use public web signals plus documents you upload (like PDFs or pitch decks) to produce a brief you can chat with—useful for diligence and internal notes.
Yes. You can submit a missing company through the account interface and our team will validate the public signals before adding it. Once approved, the startup enters the same discovery stack as the rest of the database and becomes searchable via semantic search, filters, and list workflows on the discovery page.
We keep costs low by using compact, cost-efficient LLM models for enrichment instead of scaling expensive manual workflows. That lets us process and enrich thousands of startups for just a few cents, while still delivering practical, up-to-date profiles. To keep the service stable for everyone, we apply fair usage limits so heavy usage remains performant and doesn't degrade access for all users.
