The problem

There are millions of startups, but nothing tells you which ones are right for you.

There are millions of startups, but nothing tells you which ones are right for you.

You spent hours researching and have hundreds of tabs open, but your shortlist still doesn't feel right.

Lost in keyword search

Lost in keyword search

In most databases, if a startup doesn't match a keyword, it doesn't exist. So the ones that don't fit a neat label, never make it to your list.

Matches that don’t match

Matches that don’t match

Two startups can look identical on paper but solve completely different problems. Surface-level matching wastes time that you don't have.

Outdated on arrival

Outdated on arrival

Startups raise, pivot, and get acquired faster than any database keeps up. By the time your longlist is ready, most of it is out of date again.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Scouting.

Everything you need to know about Scouting.

Everything you need to know about Scouting.

Why should I not just use an LLM for scouting?

An LLM cannot tell you whether a company is still active, what it has done recently, or how to contact the founder. Kuanta gives you a live, searchable database with real-time news, verified founder contact details, similar startups and complex multi-filter search and actionable intelligence you can act on immediately.

What makes Kuanta’ scouting different?

We offer the largest validated startup database out there, but more importantly we allow you to find a needle in the haystack with our advanced search mechanism. Thanks to our vectorized semantics – which you cannot find anywhere else - you will surface the most relevant startups in minutes.

Which countries, industries, and sectors do you cover?

Kuanta covers 3.7M+ startup profiles globally with strong coverage across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. All major verticals are covered i.e. fintech, deeptech, healthtech, defense, enterprise software, and many more.

How do I start searching for startups?

Kuanta offers a layered search approach that adapts to your needs. Start with a simple industry search to browse by vertical, stage, or geography. For more targeted discovery, switch to complex search. You enter your keywords or a full sentence, and our vectorised semantic matching surfaces the most relevant startups based on meaning and context.

What does a scouting result look like?

You will receive a scored shortlist with startup profiles ranked by fit to your criteria. A light analysis of each startup includes sector, stage, traction signals, competitive context, latest news and founder contact details.

How often is your database refreshed?

Our proprietary database is continuously refreshed on a rolling basis. Our real-time news section shows the latest funding rounds, product launches, and company developments so you are always working with an up-to-date view.

Can I share a scouting license with my team?

Yes, a Kuanta license is not restricted by location and supports multiple team members across different offices and geographies. The number of seats depends on the license tier, and additional users can be added at any point during your subscription.
