Tracxn Reviews

We used Tracxn for identifying VC investments in ESG domain specifically in Agtech space. The tool provided list of startups funded there

Its quite good in terms of providing details of recent funded startups in emerging domains such as plant based and lab grown proteins, precision agriculture etc.

There needs to be a learning curve before you can make some good analysis, however that is typical with all platforms. So not a big deal, may be they can add some hand holding initially

We use tracxn for building vc funding analysis and identifying emerging sectors and use cases across industries. The tool helps us speed up the discovery process of startups

We work with Tracxn on identifying VC funding trends in emerging domains such as AI, Cyber, climate change etc. They have a prebuilt collection of startups under each of such domains with easy filters to pull data with multiple cuts such as geography, series of funding, time period, valuations etc. It helped in quickly getting insights on the highest funded startups and use cases.

They have a live agent support, unlike ticketing system used by other database providers, so if you are stuck be rest assured to get support within 5 min on any issue. I personally used it many times and resolutions are provided in acceptable time period.

I find the research reports on Tracxn quite mechanical without detailed insights unlike competitors. Maybe the reporting is automated, hence the detailed insights are missing.

Tracxn helps us in identifying emerging startups in new domains - we also get trends on hot sectors and startups by following the VC investment trends. Other areas where it helps us is by saving time by offering pre-built collections called "practice areas" which are a collection of all relevant startups in a certain domain.

I have been using the Tracxn platform for the past 5 years. I cannot think of doing my everyday work without Tracxn and its analyst team. Tracxn helps me doing for deal-sourcing, market research, competitive analysis.

I love its extensive startup information, and also it covers companies globally. In fact, I sourced several startups from Tracxn, and we invested in those companies. In addition to it, I like their support team and analyst team. They are always prompt to our request and very supportive. I deeply appreciate their service.

I don't have anything that I dislike about Tracxn. One thing I would like to suggest is to cover Japanese startups more.

Tracxn saves my time to look for any startup/company information.

We use Tracxn regularly to both source and conduct diligences. Tracxn is a great tool to identify all the potential competitors and gather market intelligence across India, China and US markets.

Exhaustiveness of India, China and US database

Update of new (small/early companies) is not very prompt

a) Identify potential comparables/competitors across markets

b) Diligence on journies/growth/funding rounds of companies and sectors

I regularly use Tracxn to keep updated on the themes I am interested in investing in, identify relevant competition to potential investment opportunities that I come across, benchmark private company performance based on certain operational and financial metrics.

Tracxn is leaps and bounds above any other company providing a similar service (Pitchbook, Venture Intelligence, CB Insights, etc.) for one simple reason - detailed industry taxonomy and classification. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system of classification is simply redundant when it comes to keeping a tab on disruptive businesses and technologies. Tracxn does a good job of this because of its large team of analysts that go through each company in detail before making an objective map of their classification. All the financial information I can extract, analyze and make informed decisions on, is only useful when I am able to identify a cluster of similar companies.

The company is positioned as a self-serve database, but the industry definitely can utilize more services from it if they were provided. They lack a team of good subject matter experts that can deliver pristine reports above and beyond extracting data and representing it in simplistic, templatized charts from the database.

In its current avatar, it is a self-serve tool and is dependant on the user to make the most out of its vast and well-curated database.

Tracxn is built as a self-serve tool useful for keeping a hawk-eye on the fast-changing startup investment landscape. This is my everyday morning go-to tool to keep updated on changes in the startup landscape - from investments, investors, trade deals, etc. in Asia and America (my geographic focus).

We at EY use the product for tracking news about the latest in the startup ecosystem. The way the companies and group under sector trees are massively helpful. The sector reports covering domestic and global peers is also and essential need.

1. Breadth of Companies

2. Quality of information

3. Research

4. Customer support

Very minimal, but would want them to expand the product to include more Series B, C and onwards

Tracxn is one complete database for startup tracking, business development, research, news. It has evolved to become one of the most used and essential products we use everyday.

Tracxn helps you get an overview of the industry including competitive landscape, recent fundings, key players and helps you have deeper conversations with startups.

1. Competitive Landscape

2. Detailed Industry Taxonomy and Classification (helps in really finding the closest competitors)

3. Super responsive customer service / team of analysts

Better sectoral reports (with commentary) could be great to have given all the data they have

Reach out to get a training session done - to leverage the power of the platform!

Tracxn is my go-to-tool for funding news, searching new companies,

Tracxn helped in finding the funding information, accurate data on domain names, company location (which helped in filtering companies based on countries for my need), etc.

Accurate data. Easy to find companies. Properly arranged the data in tabs for easy navigation.

Found one sector in which the Tracxn competitor list was not that helpful 3-4 months back, now it looks fixed, and good results are coming.

I was trying to analyze startups based on the data available in Tracxn.
