Turn startup discovery into measurable outcomes.
SwitchPitch gives enterprises one platform to understand markets, find aligned startups, compare capabilities, manage pipelines, and move the best opportunities from scouting to PoC.
Compare startups by IRL score, clients, funding, stage, traction, and capabilities.
Have an innovation need? Submit it and let SwitchPitch surface the right startups.
Understand where innovation is actually happening.
Most platforms track funding. SwitchPitch tracks real enterprise adoption, partnership activity, and sector momentum — so your team can spot emerging markets, see who is partnering with whom, and generate executive-ready landscapes from real activity.
Find the right startups in seconds, not weeks.
Search by business need, capability, technology area, or use case. SwitchPitch surfaces relevant companies instantly — then gives you the tools to go deep when precision matters.
Data no other platform has,
because it is not scraped.
Crunchbase and PitchBook show funding rounds, hiring trends, and other public signals. Useful, but widely available.
SwitchPitch surfaces proprietary data sourced directly from the ecosystem: VCs and accelerators, the startups themselves, and the enterprises already working with them. This is insight you will not find anywhere else.
Portfolio-level signals, readiness assessments, and curated recommendations from investors and operators who know these companies from the inside.
Verified client lists, real deployment outcomes, integration capabilities, and patent portfolios submitted directly by the startups — data they do not publish publicly.
Real adoption data from enterprises that have evaluated, piloted, or deployed these startups, including context, outcomes, and fit signals your team can act on.
Adoption Data
See exactly which enterprises have deployed or piloted this startup — and in what context. No other platform has this.
Client Lists
Named enterprise customers submitted directly by startups — verified commercial traction you won't find in any public database.
Traction Metrics
Revenue stage, growth signals, customer count, and enterprise contract indicators — contextualized for enterprise fit, not VC optics.
Patent Data
IP portfolio depth and relevance to your technology area — so you can assess defensibility and differentiation before the first meeting.
TRL Score
Technology Readiness Level — know immediately whether a startup is early-stage research or production-ready for enterprise deployment.
This data is not publicly available. It is sourced exclusively through the SwitchPitch ecosystem — contributed by VCs, accelerators, startups, and enterprise partners who participate in the platform. You cannot get it from a web scraper, a data vendor, or a competing tool.
Each startup profile surfaces the proprietary signals enterprise evaluators actually need.
Stop evaluating startups by funding. Start evaluating them by enterprise readiness.
Most scouting tools show you funding raised and headcount. The IRL (Innovation Readiness Level) score is SwitchPitch's proprietary measure of how enterprise-ready a startup actually is — built specifically to answer the question that matters: is this startup ready to work with us? Every company on SwitchPitch is scored so teams can prioritize and compare with confidence, not gut feel. Teams using IRL reach a go/no-go decision 3x faster.
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.
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. No other platform scores startups on enterprise readiness — this signal is exclusive to SwitchPitch.
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.
