Better radars, team settings, and a cleaner layout

Latest
v2.6.0·

Seed a radar with companies you know, search its evaluations, manage your team and API keys, and find your way around one consistent layout.

New

Seed a radar with companies you know

A new radar first asks you to rate companies you already know: from another radar, matches for your organization, popular companies, or any domain. Seed again when a radar runs out of candidates or keeps missing.

New

Find any past evaluation

Search a radar's evaluations to check whether a company was already rated. Each evaluation shows who rated it and when, so you know whom to ask.

New

Manage your team and API keys yourself

In the new settings, invite colleagues, see how active each of them is, and create or revoke API keys. Ready-made emails help you invite colleagues and bring them back.

Improved

One layout on every page

Pages, headings and company cards look the same everywhere, and feeds show twice as many companies at once.

Improved

More information while a company is being indexed

Companies we are indexing or re-indexing already show name, description, age and contacts, so you can assess them without waiting.

Fixed

No more double ratings

Confirming a rating twice in quick succession no longer saves it twice. Re-rating a company in a radar's recent evaluations changes that evaluation instead of adding a second one.

Release notices on the dashboard

v2.5.1·
Improved

New releases announced on the dashboard

For a week after every release, the dashboard shows a short notice linking to the changelog, so you never miss what changed.

Top candidates per radar

v2.5.0·

Every radar shows how many top candidates are waiting for you and when it was last worked on, so you always know where to start.

New

Top candidates and last activity per radar

Each radar shows how many top candidates are waiting, companies your agents expect you to rate four stars or better, and when it was last evaluated. Start where the best deals are and see which radars you have neglected.

Improved

Polish across the app

Feeds are grouped into Company, Global, and Source Feeds. Times like “2h ago” look the same everywhere and show the exact date on hover. The radar page shows your session stats: candidates rated, top deals, and average rating.

Improved

Works on every screen size

Every page adapts to the space available, from a phone to a split desktop window to a wide monitor, whether the sidebar is open or not. The sidebar also stays collapsed or expanded as you left it across pages and reloads.

New CRM sync engine

v2.4.0·

Connect StartupRadar to your CRM so recommendations learn from your dealflow, you stop seeing companies you already know, and promising new ones land straight in your funnel.

New

Three sync modes: pull, push, and sync

Pull companies from your CRM into a radar, push the ones you rate back out, or do both, so recommendations learn from your dealflow and your new picks reach your funnel automatically.

New

Customizable workflow integration

Each connection can be tailored to how your team works, from how deal stages map to ratings to where your ratings land in your CRM, so the sync fits your process instead of forcing a new one.

New

Sync status and summary on radars

Each connected radar shows its sync mode and a short summary, so you can see at a glance how it is wired to your CRM.

Improved

Synced entries alongside your sourcing

Companies synced from your CRM sit in the radar next to the ones you and your team add, so all your sourcing lives in one place and companies you have already seen drop out of your recommendations.

Improved

Higher-contrast grey badges

Grey badges and labels have a bit more contrast against the panels behind them, so they are easier to read.

Stable evaluation order

v2.3.1·

Your evaluations now keep a consistent order, so rating a company no longer reshuffles the list.

Fixed

Stable evaluation order

Re-rating a company used to shuffle the evaluations list into an unpredictable order. Evaluations now keep a stable order across visits, so you can pick up where you left off.

Fixed

Re-rating revisited companies

Companies brought back for a fresh look could not be re-rated: saving failed with “domain already in list”. You can now re-rate them, so a second look always counts.

Search is back on new infrastructure

v2.3.0·

We rebuilt search from the ground up. Startup search works again, matching is typo-tolerant, and a new API endpoint suggests domains as you type.

New

Domain autocomplete

Adding an evaluation to a radar suggests real domains as you type, so you can add the right company quickly and without typos.

Improved

Typo-tolerant search

Search forgives typos and partial words when matching startups and domains, so you still find the company you meant.

Improved

Search availability message

The add-evaluation dialog now says when domain search is unavailable, so you know it is a temporary outage rather than no matches.

Fixed

Startup search restored

Search across startups works again after our infrastructure migration, so you can find companies by name.

Smarter, faster recommendations

v2.2.0·

Our recommendation engine now offers more ways to surface companies, returns them noticeably faster, and shows why each one was recommended.

New

More recommendation modes

New serving modes surface candidates in different ways, from globally relevant companies to early-stage and contrarian picks, so you can steer the engine toward the deals you are hunting.

Improved

Mode badge and explanation on candidates

Each candidate shows its serving mode (e.g. "Best fit") and a short explanation, so you know why it was surfaced before you rate it.

Improved

Faster recommendation loading

Recommendations load noticeably faster thanks to a reworked, cached data pipeline, so you spend less time waiting between candidates.

Public Startup Lists

v2.1.0·

Browse curated startup lists sourced by autonomous agents. Each list represents an investment thesis with company profiles, growth metrics, and agent insights.

New

Lists overview page

The new /lists page shows all curated startup lists with logo previews, region and theme badges, and company counts, so you can scan themes at a glance and dive into one.

New

List detail page

Each list has a dedicated page with company cards (or table view), growth statistics, and related lists, so you can explore a thesis in depth.

Improved

Card-style feed layout

Feeds display startups as polished vertical cards, so they are easier to skim.

Fixed

Load More on evaluations page

The Load More button used to briefly show a blank screen. Entries now stay visible while more load, so the page no longer flashes empty.

Fixed

Broken website links

Company website links missing a protocol prefix in the source data are fixed, so they open the right site.

StartupRadar v2 Launch

v2.0.0·

Complete redesign focused on the evaluation experience. A new premium interface built for speed and precision.

New

Data products page

The new /data page explains our data offerings (real-time API access, curated feeds, and custom solutions), so you can find the right way to access our data.

New

Company actions menu

A three-dot menu on company cards lets you add a company to any radar with a rating, so you can capture a find without leaving the page.

New

Team ranking page

The new /app/ranking page shows team performance cards and a full leaderboard, filterable by timeframe or custom date range, so you can see how your team is doing at a glance.

New

Keyboard shortcuts for rating

Press 1-5 to rate, Enter to confirm, and Esc to cancel, so you can screen deals quickly without reaching for the mouse.

New

Two-step rating confirmation

Ratings ask for confirmation before saving, so you do not submit one by accident.

New

Queue preview

See the next 3 candidates coming up while you evaluate the current one, so you can pace your session.

New

Session stats

Live stats show your evaluated count, top deals found, and average rating, so you can track your progress as you go.

New

Rotating rank cards

Your personal, team, and firm-wide rankings rotate as you evaluate candidates, so you stay motivated while screening.

New

Dark mode

A dark theme, toggled in the sidebar, so late-night deal screening sessions are easier on the eyes.

New

Feeds index page

Browse all discovery feeds organized by category (For You, Global, and By Source), so you can find a feed that fits what you are looking for.

New

Radars index page

See all your radars at a glance with creation dates and quick access, so you can jump back into any of them.

New

Pricing page

A pricing page lists all package tiers (Basic, Standard, Unlimited, and Custom), so you can find the plan that fits.

New

Use cases page

A dedicated page showcases use cases and supported integrations, so you can see how StartupRadar fits your workflow.

New

Waiting list page

Users not yet connected to an organization see a dedicated waiting list page, so they know how to get access.

Improved

Homepage redesign

A complete homepage overhaul with 'Autonomous Agents' positioning across 11 sections, so new visitors quickly understand what StartupRadar does.

Improved

Scroll-triggered micro animations

Subtle, staggered fade-up animations on key homepage sections, so the page feels polished as you scroll.

Improved

Premium design language

A refined interface inspired by institutional investment platforms, so the product feels built for serious deal work.

Improved

Progressive organization enrichment

Company details load progressively (you see the domain immediately while metadata loads), so pages feel fast.

Improved

Better pagination

A load-more pattern replaces traditional pagination, so browsing stays smooth.

Improved

Instagram and email links

Company cards show Instagram profiles and email contacts where available, so you can reach out faster.

Fixed

Homepage navigation and button links

Menu items are now left-aligned and the Request Access and API Docs buttons link to their destinations, so navigation works as expected.

That's everything so far. Check back for more updates!
