Forkcast

Startup and Idea Discovery Platform

AI-enriched market research and validation tool. From spark to PRD in days, not months. Includes competitor analysis, trend forecasting, and automated documentation.

The Problem

Validating a startup idea today means cobbling together data from dozens of sources. Crunchbase for competitors, Google Trends for demand signals, industry reports for market sizing. It takes weeks, costs thousands, and by the time you have answers the landscape has shifted.

Innovation teams inside organisations face the same problem at larger scale. They need to evaluate multiple opportunities quickly, but their tools are built for deep research on a single topic, not rapid scanning across many.

The Solution

AI-enriched market research and validation tool. From spark to PRD in days, not months. Includes competitor analysis, trend forecasting, and automated documentation.

What's Built

AI-powered market landscape analysis
Competitor intelligence gathering
Automated PRD generation
Trend identification engine

What's Needed

This is where the operator comes in. Here's what you'd focus on:

Sales and customer acquisition
Product-market fit validation
Pricing and packaging strategy
Community building

Ideal Operator

Someone with startup or VC ecosystem experience who understands founder pain points.

The Opportunity

MARKET AND GROWTH

Idea validation is a $2B+ market (market research tools). Existing tools are expensive (CB Insights, Crunchbase Pro) or manual. An AI-native approach makes it 10x faster and cheaper. Natural upsell path: validation to building to launch support.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

CB Insights (enterprise pricing, not founder-friendly), Crunchbase Pro (data but no synthesis), Statista (static reports). No tool combines AI-powered research, competitor analysis, and PRD generation in one workflow.
