Startup Tracker

The broader building-industry company universe -- 269 AEC, proptech, and contech startups, grouped by emergent business-model category and tagged with building typology, lifecycle, funding stage, and investors. This is a distinct dataset from the software catalog -- an ingest, not a scored review. Categories are emergent, derived from each company's own description; ~ 50 companies with no source description are marked unknown pending a later enrichment pass.
