Master the Business intelligence: key strategies for entrepreneurial success

Do you want to boost your entrepreneurial project? The Dealroom.co business intelligence, integrated into the ONE Platform, is an essential market intelligence data tool for startups, investors, and any stakeholder interested in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. With free access, this tool provides detailed information on key players, market trends, and growth opportunities, helping to make strategic decisions. In this practical post, we will show you all the features of the Dealroom.co business intelligence so you can make the most of it and benefit from its potential.

Dealroom.co stands out for its advanced features, which make it an essential tool for the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Its advanced search allows you to filter companies based on various criteria such as industry, location, funding stage, and more.

In addition to offering detailed company profiles, it includes financial metrics, funding round history, exits, statistics, and market trends by sector, providing key information to make informed decisions. The tool ensures that users have access to up-to-date information, thanks to a constantly updated database. It also features efficient analytical tools designed to identify investment opportunities, create synergies, foster collaboration with emerging startups and/or other stakeholders, stay up to date with the latest industry trends, and more.

Below, we outline some of the key features that have made it a valuable tool within the ONE Platform:

Creation and management of lists and landscapes: customised lists of startups and investors can be created, allowing users to organise and visualise the most relevant players based on their interests. The "create a list" and "create a landscape" features allow for data filtering and segmentation. This functionality is essential for users of the ONE Platform to access detailed information about the global entrepreneurial ecosystem.

• Creation of lists: private lists filtering startups or investors by criteria such as industry, funding received, location, etc., which is especially useful for tracking the development of a sector or identifying investment opportunities.
• Landscapes: visualise data that is structured and segmented by categories, making it easier to analyse and identify patterns.

In summary, while a list is a basic collection of profiles, a landscape offers a more complex and visually appealing organisation, allowing for better segmentation and analysis of information.

These types of tools provide great flexibility for those who wish to conduct detailed research on the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Saved searches: Dealroom.co allows users to save searches for quick access to the most relevant results in the future. This feature is especially useful for users conducting ongoing research who need frequent access to the same results.

• Custom searches: advanced filters (sector, location, investment round size, etc.) can be set and saved for future queries. This reduces the time spent searching for repetitive information, improving data management efficiency.
• Alerts: Dealroom.co allows users to set up alerts based on these saved searches, providing an added advantage by receiving notifications about new data or changes in the companies or investors on the saved list.

Comparison of ecosystems: analyse and compare global ecosystems based on key metrics such as investment, size, or prominent sectors. This feature is ideal for exploring expansion or investment opportunities in different regions.

Creation and editing of company profiles: another important aspect of Dealroom.co is the management of company profiles, which allows startups and other ecosystem players to create, claim, and edit their profiles to make them more visible and complete.

• Claiming and editing a profile: companies can claim their profile on Dealroom.co, ensuring that the information related to them is up-to-date and accurate. This process helps startups present themselves to potential investors and collaborators in a professional and transparent manner.
• Company visualisation: profiles include details about the company’s mission, team, funding received, industry, and more. This not only increases the company’s visibility on the platform but also provides a powerful tool for analysis or comparing companies within a specific sector.

Dealroom Signal: rather than creating a score based on the overall quality or performance of a startup, Dealroom Signal is specifically designed to highlight funding opportunities. The algorithm is calibrated to identify companies showing strong traction and predicts those that are ready for a funding round or experiencing high growth. On the main dashboard, each user will find three “cards”:

• Top-ranked startups: startups that are the highest ranked on the platform.
• Rising stars: startups that have grown the most in the last 24 hours.
• Fastest employee growth: fastest employee growth over the last 6 and 12 months.

This feature provides startups and investors with a useful guide to understanding market dynamics, allowing them to filter by different funding stages (Pre) Seed, Series A, and Breakout.

Matching tool – find your next investor: Dealroom.co also offers startups the ability to identify investors based on the amount of funding they expect to receive, the funding round (Seed, Series A, Series B, etc.), and the type of investor (crowdfunding, investment fund, business angel, etc.) that best aligns with the startup’s interests.

Based on the data entered, Dealroom.co's algorithm shows a list of investors that match the specified criteria. The results are sorted by relevance to facilitate the search.

Users can view the matching profiles, accessing detailed information such as investment history, areas of interest, and recent investments made. This allows for a deeper analysis and better strategic decision-making.

This feature is especially useful for startups looking for funding and investors who want to identify investment opportunities that align with their strategy.

Investor section: this is a ranking based on data from the most prominent venture capital investors worldwide. This section provides access to detailed information on the number of investments made, the size of funding rounds, and a successful track record in the ecosystem, benefiting startups in search of funding opportunities, with access to relevant information on the most active investors.

Job search: the job section on Dealroom.co includes a search tool that allows users to post and/or search for available job vacancies in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This section facilitates the connection between companies and job seekers, providing a platform where users can access job opportunities in startups and other organisations in the technology and business sectors.

Market trends and evolution: Dealroom.co also provides access to detailed analysis on market trends and evolution. Through the collection of updated data and the use of market intelligence, users can gain a clear understanding of the changes and developments within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. These analyses help identify emerging sectors, understand investment behaviours, and forecast future opportunities within the industry.

Additionally, it showcases the growth of specific sectors, includes recent funding rounds, and other relevant indicators.

Finally, Dealroom.co offers additional resources such as reports, newsletters, and studies that analyse aspects related to technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. These complement the database with valuable insights for users within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
