FAQ
How is startup revenue verified?
TrustMRR tracks verified revenue data from payment providers. Revenue figures represent actual MRR, not self-reported estimates.
What are risk signals and opportunity signals?
Risk signals are AI-identified concerns like high churn, single-channel dependency, or unproven product-market fit. Opportunity signals are positive indicators like growing market demand, underpriced assets, or clear upsell potential.
Can I filter startups by MRR range?
Yes. Use min_mrr and max_mrr parameters in dollars. You can also filter by on_sale to see only startups currently for sale.
What is a market cluster?
A cluster is a group of SaaS startups that share a common theme, business model, or niche. BigIdeasDB uses AI to group startups and generate insights about each cluster's defining traits, tech stack trends, and market gaps.
