StartupWiki
AI-powered startup research directory
About StartupWiki
StartupWiki is a community-driven, AI-powered research directory that profiles global startup ventures across AI, biotech, fintech, cybersecurity, cleantech, quantum computing, and other deep-tech categories. Each profile pulls together funding data, financial metrics, competitive analysis, and team insights, researched from public sources with every claim keeping its source and access date. Fields that independent sources corroborate carry a verification badge, so a sourced fact is visibly distinct from an estimate.
The project is built to make startup research fast, transparent, and reusable. Every profile, category page, and blog post is free to read, and the data is exposed through an open JSON API that needs no key, no sign-up, and no payment. That combination of AI-assisted research, source transparency, and an open API is what sets StartupWiki apart from closed databases that hide their methodology and gate their data behind subscriptions.
StartupWiki researches each company from public sources such as company sites, funding announcements, press, and filings, then structures that into a consistent profile with funding, metrics, competitive context, and team information. Every claim is tagged with its source and the date it was accessed, and corroborated fields receive a verification badge so readers can tell a sourced fact from an estimate. You browse by category or alphabetically, read deep-dive blog posts, or query the open JSON API to fetch profiles, categories, and search results programmatically. Companies can be submitted through the homepage form; submissions require a free account and are reviewed before a profile is researched and published. A weekly launch board surfaces newly shipped products, giving each a page ranked by community upvotes for seven days.

StartupWiki is aimed at founders, investors, analysts, and researchers who need quick, sourced context on the startup landscape. Investors and scouts use the funding data and competitive analysis to size up companies and categories. Founders use it to research peers, position their own venture, and get listed. Journalists and analysts lean on the source-tagged claims and verification badges to separate confirmed facts from estimates. Developers and builders use the open, key-less JSON API to pull structured startup data into their own tools, dashboards, or agents. Because everything is free to read and the API needs no sign-up, it suits anyone who wants transparent, reusable startup intelligence rather than a closed, subscription-gated database.
