The wedge

We killed the “AI co-founder.” We own one job instead.

Sprawling agent suites try to do everything and do nothing exceptionally. CatalystIQ does a single job to be done — competitor intelligence — better than anything else you've used.

The old way
  • Research competitors on-demand, then forget until the next fire drill.
  • Stitch together Crunchbase tabs, Google alerts and a research chatbot.
  • Read a wall of 'here's what happened' with no recommended action.
  • Pay US-priced tools that ignore Indian willingness-to-pay.
With CatalystIQ
  • Agents watch your rivals 24/7 — you get the change, not the busywork.
  • One purpose-built workspace with the sources already assembled.
  • Each signal ships with a recommended move and its citations.
  • Prosumer pricing from $49/mo, calibrated for Indian teams.
Core features

Everything a competitor-intel wedge should do

Purpose-built to fill the gaps that deep-research tools, startup databases and general AI agents leave open.

Continuous competitor tracking

Define a watchlist once. Our agents monitor pricing pages, changelogs, hiring, reviews and community threads around the clock — so you never learn about a move a week too late.

Evidence-backed recommendations

Every signal comes with a suggested move and its receipts: linked sources, timestamps and a confidence note. Decide fast, defend it later.

Customer pain-point radar

We surface the complaints your rivals' customers are voicing — the wedge for your next feature, landing page or migration campaign.

Proactive, not on-demand

CatalystIQ pushes what changed and why it matters before you think to ask. No prompt engineering, no babysitting agent runs.

Cited briefs, zero hallucination theatre

Nothing is stated as fact without a link you can click. Share a brief with your board or team knowing every claim is traceable.

Calibrated for India

Source coverage tuned to the local ecosystem and pricing built for Indian founders, investors and incubators — team tiers well below US equivalents.

Competitive positioning

Where the alternatives stop, we start

CatalystIQ is built around the gaps left by Perplexity Deep Research, Crunchbase / Tracxn and general-purpose AI agents.

How it works

From watchlist to winning move in three steps

01

Name your rivals

Add the competitors you care about to a watchlist. No integrations, no data cleanup — just names or URLs.

02

Agents go to work

CatalystIQ continuously reads the open web around each rival and clusters the noise into meaningful, dated signals.

03

Wake up to moves, not noise

You get a prioritised feed of what changed, why it matters and the recommended action — each with its sources attached.

Early signal

What early access users are saying

Illustrative testimonials from our founding cohort. Real names withheld pre-launch.

It's the first tool that tells me what to do about a competitor, not just that something happened. The pain-point radar alone rewrote our Q3 roadmap.

Aarav Mehta
Co-founder, seed-stage SaaS

We track 40 portfolio-adjacent startups. CatalystIQ replaced a spreadsheet, two analysts' Fridays and a lot of guesswork.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Perplexity answers a question the moment you ask it, then forgets. CatalystIQ runs continuously against a watchlist of competitors you define — so instead of researching on demand, you wake up to what changed overnight, why it matters, and the move it implies. It's monitoring, not one-off search.

Crunchbase and Tracxn are databases — they tell you funding rounds and firmographics after the fact. CatalystIQ reads the messy, unstructured signal (pricing pages, changelogs, hiring, reviews, community threads) and turns it into an evidence-backed recommendation. We answer 'what should I do about it,' not just 'what happened.'

General agents are powerful but you have to design the workflow, wire the sources, and babysit every run. CatalystIQ is a purpose-built wedge: one job — competitor intelligence — done exceptionally well, with the watchlists, source coverage, and cited briefs already assembled for you.

Every recommendation ships with its receipts: linked sources, timestamps, and a confidence note. Nothing is presented as fact without a citation you can click through and verify yourself.

Yes. Pricing is calibrated to Indian founders, investors and incubators — entry at $49/mo with team tiers, well below US equivalents — and our source coverage is tuned for the local ecosystem, from Indian funding announcements to regional community chatter.
