Frequently asked
How fast do new startups appear?+
Most state registries publish daily; we sync within 24–72 hours of the official filing.
Can I filter by industry?+
Not directly — registries don't carry NAICS codes uniformly. Use keyword search on the legal name as the best proxy.
Do you show founder names?+
We surface registered agents and officers where the state publishes them. Many states do not publish member or director lists.
