NationGraph vs Startup Science

NationGraph makes the public sector legible and accessible to businesses. We index over 110,000 government institutions and 4 million government webpages to surface predictive buying intelligence for sales teams selling to state, local, and education (SLED) government.

Signals: Predictive intelligence on government purchasing decisions. Cross-references council meetings, budgets, purchase orders, contracts, capital improvement plans, and active RFPs to surface real buying triggers — not just keyword mentions.

Contacts: AI-powered search that matches government decision-makers by role, with verified emails and direct phone numbers. Reach the right buyer on the first call.

Public Record Automations: Unlocks hard-to-access government documents at scale. Handles FOIA requests, extraction, and structured delivery into existing sales tools.

Automations: Turn signals and public-sector data into repeatable workflows — ranked institution lists, competitor contract research via FOIA, and CRM syncs to Salesforce and HubSpot.

Results: 60x faster account research, 230% average increase in pipeline coverage, 3-5x higher win rate on RFPs.

Founded in 2024. $22.5M raised, Series A led by Menlo Ventures with participation from Perplexity's Fund.

Startup Science is a platform that unifies the entire startup ecosystem around one research-backed framework. Most founders juggle dozens of disconnected tools, conflicting advice, and no clear sense of what to do next. The organizations that support them face the same problem from the other side: fragmented programs, inconsistent quality, and no shared way to measure progress.

Built on a seven-phase Startup Lifecycle developed over 35 years and 12 successful exits, Startup Science brings founders, accelerators, mentors, service providers, and investors onto one platform. Founders get a clear path from idea to exit. Programs get structure they can scale. Mentors and providers get shared context so their help actually lands. Investors get access to better prepared companies to invest in. Instead of stitching together spreadsheets, generic courses, and disconnected software, everyone works from the same playbook. 89,000+ founders already use the platform.
