What it is:
Mattermark is a data platform that helps VC firms stay up to date on up-and-coming startups, so that investors can find the next big thing in tech without having to spend a lot of time doing so. It describes itself as the "B2B Google," and its software lets investors look at information about startups based on news stories, Twitter, SEC filings, AngelList, CrunchBase, and more.
“We don’t believe we can replace investors’ ability to build relationships with entrepreneurs, but we do think we can help them source opportunities more efficiently and reduce the chances of missing a whale,” Mattermark cofounder Danielle Morrill said.
