Built for people who can build but still have to choose

Developers, small product teams and operators with a factory or trade background. You can ship software; the hard part is picking a business with a reachable buyer and evidence that someone pays.

What you get

Company catalog

Search and filter every tracked company by region, stage, segment and the five answers. Official websites and funding history included.

Segment maps

Market map, attractiveness matrix and segment dossiers that show where companies cluster, what is still missing and where a small team can enter.

Sample briefs

Opportunity briefs that go from customer and problem to the smallest product, the sales channel, the risks and the stop conditions.

Tools

Unit-economics calculator, demo lab and the sources we read, so you can keep researching on your own.

How MaxBC researches a company

  1. BuyerWho owns the budget, and in what kind of company?
  2. TriggerWhat makes them buy now rather than later?
  3. WorkflowWhat inputs become what useful output?
  4. EconomicsWhat it saves or earns, and how it charges.
  5. DistributionHow it actually reaches customers.

Rules we keep

  • A funding round shows investor belief, not a proven business. A paid pilot in your niche is the evidence that counts.
  • Company claims and research hypotheses are stored separately, each with its source and the date it was checked.
  • Unknown stays unknown. We do not invent prices, customers or revenue.
  • Every opportunity names the step it changes, who gains, who pays, what delivery needs and why they would switch.

One researched opportunity a week, by email

Free. Each issue picks one narrow market from the catalog, names the buyer and the workflow, and says what we would test first. No spam, unsubscribe any time.
