Startup Scouting by PitchBob

Discover Stealth-Mode Startups Before Anyone Else

PitchBob’s startup scouting service gives you exclusive access to under-the-radar startup ideas — long before they appear in public databases or media.

We specialize in uncovering stealth-mode startups, connecting you with early-stage founders during the most critical phase of their journey: idea formulation and validation.

Why PitchBob is Different

Unlike traditional startup databases that only list publicly available companies, PitchBob taps into the earliest phases of startup development — often 6+ months before a startup appears on Crunchbase or Dealroom.

When a founder interacts with our platform to create a pitch deck or refine an idea, we capture valuable metadata:

  • Problem they’re solving
  • Target audience
  • Market insights
  • Business model
  • Stage of development

This enables us to track and qualify startups before they raise funding or go public — making PitchBob a powerful scouting source for corporate innovation teams, accelerators, and VC funds.

Who Is This For?

  • Corporate innovation teams searching for startups to pilot or acquire
  • Accelerators and incubators looking to fill their next cohort
  • VC scouts and angel networks eager to spot hidden gems early
  • Government and university programs tracking new tech and founders
  • Tech ecosystem builders curating trend reports or startup showcases

FAQ

❓ What is PitchBob’s scouting service?

It’s a free tool for corporate teams, VC scouts, and accelerators to discover early-stage, stealth-mode startups before they appear in public databases.

Those platforms list startups after they’re already public. PitchBob captures startups at idea stage — weeks or months before they’re visible anywhere else.

❓ What kind of data do you provide?

We provide anonymized startup profiles that include:

  • Problem they solve

  • Geography

Full contact details are shared only with mutual consent.

❓ Can I search by geography or industry?

Yes! You can request startups filtered by:

  • Country or region
  • Industry or vertical (e. g., Fintech, ClimateTech, Health)
  • Stage (idea, MVP, traction)
  • Technology type (AI, IoT, SaaS, etc.)
❓ Do you share founder contact details?

Only when there’s mutual interest. Founders remain in stealth mode, and we respect their privacy. We’ll facilitate the connection once you request it and the founder agrees.

❓ How many startups can I access?

We currently track tens of thousands of early-stage projects and add thousands more each month via our pitch deck generation service.
