Management Team
At the time I'm the only founder, performing development and business roles.
Customer Problem
Partners at legal firms and consultancies, and the analysts working for them, need to spend hours in Google (or have their team create a 5-15 page report) researching a potential client before a meeting, understand the market and political trends affecting that industry, ind the potential disruptors, competitors and understand company milestones in order to prepare conversation starters and gain their prospect’s trust.

Target Market
The target market is primarily US firms followed by EU ones.
Partners working for these firms are between 30-50 years in age, analysts between 25-35.
Partners work at their companies C-Suite, Sales or Business Development departments.
Business Model
The product will be sold through a SaaS model.
Several tiers (from simplest to track several issues to most expensive giving the ability to requests custom reports).
The plan is to build a paid subscriber base with Damocles Reports, being those reports a result of our Damocles Research software, we'll promote this enterprise tool to existing subscribers that want to generate their own reports with more customization freedoms.
Customer Segments
Partners at international legal firms and VIP os sales at professional services consulting companies. We'll focus on those that are current clients of Financial Times and that have expressed interest in such a solution.
Sales & Marketing Strategy
The initial approach will be done in collaboration with the Financial Times, targeting their corporate clients first, iterating its niches and expanding from there.
We will build a subscriber-base to Damocles Reports, once we achieve a minimum number of subscriptions, we will promote to current subscribers the research tool to generate the reports, and then scale by expanding subscriber base within the niche, then expand into different verticals
Competitors
Quid, Primer.ai, Palantir, Kensho, Stratfor, Ankura.
The last two are focused on political intelligence reports, but all their data gathering are human-based.
The first 3 focus on keyword analysis and sentiment, allowing for a wide but low-resolution understanding of trends (they do not extract relationship and entity links from text)
Palantir does work by mapping organizations, individuals and their links, but is focused on security/government.
Competitive Advantage
We bring a unique skill combination in information gathering, research, Natural Language Processing, machine learning and knowledge graph building to automate knowledge acquisition. There is a growing application of knowledge graph technologies to understand unstructured data, but only a few players across industries. Now is the perfect time to hold on into a niche of the market to gain traction as it expands.
