Data Sources and Methodology
Planned sources and scoring approach. Profiles are built from licensed and public sources, with each record linked to where it came from.
Planned signal sources
Patents
USPTO and CIPO publications and grants.
Grants
SBIR/STTR and Canadian federal and provincial innovation programs.
Crowdfunding
Regulation CF filings and public reward-crowdfunding campaigns.
Accelerators
Public cohort announcements from hardware accelerators and incubators.
University innovation
Technology-transfer licenses and spinout announcements.
Hiring
Public job postings indicating stage transitions.
Opportunity Score
The Opportunity Score (0–100) is a weighted combination of visible factors: signal momentum, stage transition, funding capacity, and service gap. Each factor shows its value, its weight, and the evidence behind it.
Signals are labeled Verified when confirmed against a primary source, and Unverified otherwise.
Scores indicate likely need for outside services — not company quality or investment merit.
