Richer startup data

Go beyond the pitch deck.

Most startup databases show you a description and a funding round. SwitchPitch surfaces the signals enterprise teams need to evaluate real fit — before the first meeting.

Adoption Data

See which enterprises have already deployed or piloted this startup, and in what context.

Traction Metrics

Revenue stage, growth signals, customer count, and enterprise contract indicators.

Patent Data

IP portfolio depth and relevance to your technology area or use case.

TRL Score

Technology Readiness Level so you know if a startup is early-stage research or production-ready.

Client Lists

Named enterprise customers and partnership summaries that validate commercial traction.

SwitchPitch startup profile with adoption, traction, and patent data

Each startup profile surfaces the data enterprise evaluators actually need.

IRL Score

A smarter signal than funding stage or headcount.

The IRL (Innovation Readiness Level) score is SwitchPitch's proprietary measure of how enterprise-ready a startup actually is. Every company on SwitchPitch is scored so teams can prioritize and compare with confidence — not gut feel.

Enterprise Clients

How many enterprise-grade clients the startup has, and in which industries — a direct signal of commercial validation.

Deployment Readiness

Product maturity, integration capabilities, security posture, and the startup's track record of successful enterprise deployments.

Traction & Stage

Funding milestones, revenue growth, and team size — weighted for enterprise context, not just VC momentum.

Ecosystem Signals

Recommendations and validation from VCs, accelerators, and universities in the SwitchPitch network add trusted third-party signal.

9.1
IRL Score
Enterprise-ready. Validated by 12 enterprise clients.

IRL scores are updated continuously as startups add clients, close funding, earn ecosystem recommendations, and expand integrations. A score above 7.0 indicates a startup your team can engage with confidence.

Ecosystem recommendations

Get recommendations from VCs, accelerators, and universities you trust.

AI surfaces potential matches. Ecosystem partners add context, prioritization, and trusted recommendations.

SwitchPitch connects your innovation team to a curated network of ecosystem partners who surface startups with context and conviction, not just a list of names.

See which VCs or accelerators have backed or recommended a startup alongside AI match results.
Request warm introductions through trusted ecosystem partners rather than cold outreach.
Ecosystem signals are weighted into the IRL score, adding a human layer of validation to AI results.
