How StratSeek works

Turn a private company into a public-market map.

Enter a private company, emerging technology, or investment theme. StratSeek traces the investors, suppliers, customers, competitors, funds, credit, and commodities connected to it — then shows what each relationship captures and where it breaks down.

“You can’t buy this company. What can you buy that moves with it — or against it?”

Enter a private company or investment theme. StratSeek identifies eight relationship categories around it, then maps those relationships to public-market instruments. Each result explains its direction, materiality, evidence, what it captures, and what it misses.

Try an example:

Private company

Not directly investable

No public ticker

This is where StratSeek begins.

Start with any private company, website, emerging technology, or investment theme. No public instrument is equivalent to owning the private company — StratSeek shows the strength, evidence, direction, and limitations of every relationship.

Want to see how the map is built?

  1. 01

    Enter anything investable-adjacent

    A private company name, a website URL, an emerging technology, an industry, an investment theme, or a public ticker for reverse analysis. StratSeek classifies the input and resolves what it actually is.

  2. 02

    Confirm the business definition

    For URL inputs, the public site is fetched securely and analyzed. You see the extracted definition — "we identified X as a …" — and confirm or edit it before anything else happens. The map is only as good as this definition.

  3. 03

    Value-chain deconstruction

    The confirmed business is broken into investable layers: what it makes, what it buys, who it sells to, what it competes with, and what it depends on.

  4. 04

    Route mapping with evidence

    Each layer maps to public instruments across ten route categories — similar public companies, investors, partners, suppliers, competitors, funds, credit, real assets, listed private-market vehicles, and advanced instruments. Every relationship carries evidence records, what it captures, what it misses, and material risks.

  5. 05

    Deterministic scoring

    A Connection Score (0–100) blends twelve auditable components per relationship type. Weak evidence hard-caps the score. Scores measure connection strength — never expected return.

  6. 06

    Compare, save, monitor, hand off

    Compare up to five instruments across structure dimensions, save maps and watchlists, set alerts for new routes and stale evidence, export research, and hand instruments off to your Interactive Brokers account. Connected users can see their existing exposure to any thesis.

The scoring rules, evidence hierarchy, and publication gates are documented on the methodology page.

Nobody subscribes for a report.

You subscribe so you never have to re-do the report. Watched maps refresh on new evidence and email you what changed — new routes, broken theses, score moves.
