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