Can Junior do investment-grade research?

Junior builds structured first-pass briefs — funding, team, market position, regulatory flags. It marks unverified claims and surfaces source links. Final judgment stays with your team.

Does Junior replace our research tools?

No. Junior sits on top of your existing stack (Google Sheets, Notion, Slack) and automates the assembly work. It reads what's public, synthesizes, and delivers — so your analysts spend time on analysis, not data entry.

How often does monitoring run?

You set the cadence. Daily, weekly, or real-time — Junior runs on a cron schedule you define. Most teams use daily morning checks posted to a dedicated Slack channel.

Research & market intelligence

Know before everyone else.

Junior monitors competitors, tracks media coverage, researches prospects, and synthesizes market data into actionable briefs — delivered to Slack before you need them. Research that used to take a full day takes fifteen minutes.

The intelligence gap is real.

Most teams know they should track competitors and research markets. They just don't have the hours.

•Analysts spend 3-4 hours assembling a single competitive brief
•72% of strategy teams say they miss important market signals weekly
•Investment teams close deals 2.4x faster with pre-built research briefs
•The research isn't the bottleneck — finding, synthesizing, and routing it is

Junior solves the last mile: finding the signal, synthesizing it, and getting it to the right person at the right time — before they even ask.

Teams this is for

Founders tracking their market

You don't have a strategy team, but you still need to know what's happening. Junior watches your competitors, tracks industry news, and posts the highlights to Slack — so you hear about it first, not from a board member.

Strategy / Competitive Intelligence Leads

Your job is to know what competitors are doing before leadership asks. Junior monitors their media, tracks their moves, and delivers a daily signal digest. No more 40-tab browser sessions.

VC / Investment Analysts

You're researching 10+ companies a week. Junior builds the first-pass brief: funding history, team, market position, compliance flags. You spend your time on judgment, not data gathering.

Frequently asked

Junior searches web sources and news aggregators, then classifies each article by outlet tier, date, and relevance. It logs results to your Google Sheet or Notion database and posts new hits to Slack daily.
