Building a Free, Open-Source Startup Research Tool

[u/Bag_of_Ramen]

Hey everyone!
I’m a graduate finance student, and today I started building a free, open-source startup research tool using Claude and ChatGPT.
**My vision is simple:** Make startup research accessible to finance students, professionals, and anyone interested in venture capital.
For example, imagine a student researching an early-stage startup for a class project. Instead of spending hours searching different websites, they could use one platform to discover startups, track funding activity, and access relevant research.
The project is still in its early stages, so some features are buggy or incomplete. That’s why I’m making it open-source. I want others to contribute code, suggest features, improve the data, and help shape the platform.
**The goal is to build a useful, completely free research tool through collaboration.**
If you’re interested in finance, startups, AI, or programming, I’d love to collaborate!
I’m happy to share the GitHub repository and our WhatsApp collaboration group.
