Digi-Capital has launched its Analytics Platform as the new AR/VR/XR industry dashboard for startups, corporates and VCs. It helps you to know everything in AR/VR/XR, with 500,000+ data points across hardware, software, platforms, products/services, business models, categories and countries. It also covers the leading AR/VR/XR startups, founders, corporates, VCs, valuations, dealflow and relationships by category, investment stage, deal size, country and region.
You can see it in action here.
The platform was soft-launched at a private event at Google in late May, after which ex-Piper Jaffray Apple Analyst (now Loup Ventures Managing Partner) Gene Munster said “Digi-Capital’s Analytics Platform is Bloomberg for AR/VR/XR – it’s beyond comprehensive.” Subscriptions from the soft-launch alone have taken the platform into profit even before it launched this week.
Digi-Capital Managing Director Tim Merel said, “Data/analytics to support the industry have largely come from industry reports so far (including our own), but tools equivalent to Bloomberg, AppAnnie or Pitchbook hadn’t emerged. So we made Digi-Capital’s Analytics Platform for AR/VR/XR professionals to answer question in minutes that would take them weeks, without the cost of doing it themselves. Some of the questions it helps to answer include:
CEO/CSO
- Who are my competitors, and what are they doing?
- Where and how could I make the most money?
- Which platforms could deliver the best return on investment?
- Who can I raise money from, and how can I get to them?
- What is my company worth?
Product/service
- What products and services am I competing with?
- What products and services should I build?
- Which platforms are critical for my roadmap?
- What countries are key for my rollout?
Sales/biz dev
- Who else is selling to my customers?
- How do I hit my stretch sales target?
- Which platforms should I be selling into?
- Which countries should be incentivized for my sales teams?
Corporate
- Who are best-in-breed partners and suppliers?
- Where and how should we innovate?
- What platforms should we care about?
- What deals should we be doing?
- How much should we pay for acquisitions?
Investor/acquirer
- Which companies should I invest in or acquire?
- What is the addressable market for my portfolio companies?
- Where is the smart money going?

- What are the biggest business models, categories and countries?
