Scouting Startups by Tech, Geography, and Stage: How Custom Filters Work

Scouting Startups by Tech, Geography, and Stage: How Custom Filters Work

Find early-stage startups by region, industry, tech, and traction with PitchBob’s custom filters.

Brief outline of this article

Introduction

You’re not looking for just any startup — you’re looking for the right one.

Maybe it’s:

  • A FinTech startup in Latin America
  • A HealthTech MVP in Western Europe
  • A ClimateTech team pre-launch in Southeast Asia

But finding those exact startups — especially in stealth — has been nearly impossible. Until now.

PitchBob gives you access to a curated, structured scouting platform with custom filters that let you zero in on the founders who match your goals.

Why Generic Scouting Doesn’t Work Anymore

Old-school scouting gives you:

  • Massive spreadsheets
  • Unstructured data
  • One-size-fits-all alerts

The result?

  • Wasted hours
  • Missed matches
  • Inbound that doesn’t fit your thesis

You need precision, not volume.

What Custom Startup Scouting Looks Like

With PitchBob, you can filter startups based on:

1. Technology Stack / Industry Focus

  • AI, Blockchain, Robotics, HealthTech, EdTech, etc.
  • Emerging markets like Web3, Quantum, BioTech

2. Geography

  • Continent, country, or even city-level
  • Prioritize underrepresented or strategic regions

3. Stage

  • Idea-stage, MVP-ready, pre-funding
  • Traction indicators, GTM progress, pilot readiness

4. Founder Type

  • Female founders, student teams, solo builders, etc.

All matched before they appear in databases.

How We Do It

Our AI pitch assistant collects structured startup data:

  • Problem statements
  • Target market
  • Business model
  • Technology used

This data is indexed and filterable — not scraped or estimated.

Sample Scouting Scenarios

  • A corporate innovation lead in DACH wants: AI-based productivity tools built by B2B founders in Europe → 8 matches this month
  • A Southeast Asia accelerator wants: ClimateTech MVPs from Indonesia and Vietnam → 5 leads pre-application
  • A US pre-seed fund wants: Solo founders in HealthTech validating pain points → 12 early-stage teams identified

What You Get

  • Filtered leads, not cold lists
  • Monthly scouting reports (or real-time access)
  • Optional warm intros when founders opt in
  • Fully confidential, GDPR-compliant workflow

And yes — access is 100% free for qualified partners.

Why This Matters

Startup scouting isn’t about who sees more — it’s about who sees earlier and smarter.

With custom filters, you stop guessing and start matching.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need more noise — you need relevant signal.

PitchBob gives you stealth-mode startup access, filtered by exactly what you care about: tech, geography, stage, and traction.
