My name is Julien Winkel. I am Co-Founder of InForIntelligence, a startup from Amsterdam With my team I created a Search Engine for R&D tech scouting, several clients like Akzonobel, Kurita, BAM Infra and more. But I think the algorithm we created can be interesting for competitive intelligence as-well. Basically, what it is, I created a prototype, where a User can login, type in a company name, (example: Shell), and you see all partnerships they have with companies. Way more than news outlets / social media shows. With Boeing for example 650 partnerships.However, I am completely not into this market. I do not have the proper knowledge to make our prototype into a MVP. That’s why I call for help! I try to know the frustrations / needs of people in the CI market who are (partially) responsible for gathering information on competitors/companies.It would be amazing if people are open for a 30 min call with me, then I can also show you the prototype we have.If you have any questions, write a comment, because probably your questions is interesting for everybody.
Sounds pretty cool. I do network analysis of alliances, supply chains, trade shows, etc and could use something like this in my research. Checkout a recent graph I did on biotech alliances: https://kumu.io/TripKrant/biotech#alliances
"CI Software" is a tough market, I'll say that.
Interesting. Coming from the higher education space, we see a lot of partnerships across universities/institutions and private sector that yield exciting new technologies. Something like this would take a lot of work on the back end to fuel. Kudos to you!
It is certainly doable, just need to find or create a data-set. Tell your CI Software vendor to get entity and relationship extraction on their platform.
