Everything startup in one place: who's building, how the landscape clusters, the people and investors behind it, and whether the capital is real.
AI verdict · codex · ground-checked
Venture funding exists but remains a thin layer. Only 181 of 3856 tracked companies have ever raised outside money, while just 59 are at seed; most of the stage mix is unfunded or deadpooled.
WATCH Watch whether seed-stage firms graduate into repeat funding rather than joining the shutdown count.
AI verdict · codex · ground-checked
Indore's startup pipeline is energetic but fragile. Since 2018, 1417 companies were founded, yet 14.9% of all tracked companies have shut down; only 59 sit at seed, while the stage mix is dominated by unfunded and deadpooled firms.
WATCH Watch whether recent founders survive long enough to move beyond seed.
