Market Data

Market Data is MarketGeist's underlying company and industry database. It contains profiles for thousands of companies (seeded from Fortune 500 and expanded by AI), industry classifications, sector analytics, and the ability to run AI-powered market analyses on any company or industry.

Explain Like I'm 5

Think of Market Data as a giant phone book, but instead of phone numbers, it has information about companies — what they do, how big they are, what industry they're in, and how they're doing. When you want to learn about a company before a meeting, or find all the companies in a specific industry, you look them up in the Market Data phone book.

What Does It Do?

Market Data provides three views: Companies — browse and search company profiles with key metrics, descriptions, and industry classifications. Industries — view industry summaries with sector size, growth rate, and key players. Analysis — run AI-powered market analyses that provide deeper insights on any company or industry in the database.

Why It Matters

Quick reference — look up any company before a meeting, pitch, or competitive discussion

Industry mapping — understand which industries are growing, stable, or declining

Discovery — find companies you didn't know about in your target market

Data foundation — the database powers many MarketGeist intelligence tools (reports, competitor analysis, signals)

Export capability — download company lists and analyses for use in spreadsheets, CRMs, or presentations
