Marklode
Prior-art and competitor teardowns for startup ideas, in 48h
Marklode runs the due diligence a VC associate runs on your idea, before you pitch and on your side of the table. In 24 to 72 hours you get a sourced report: every competitor and funded player, every patent and paper that overlaps your mechanism, a hostile review of the three strongest arguments against the idea, and a verdict on which parts survive. AI-driven research across hundreds of sources, every finding verified by a human and linked so you can check it. Know before you spend.
Hi Product Hunt, maker here. Marklode started from the question every founder gets in the first investor meeting: "who else does this?" Most founders find out the answer in the room. Marklode answers it before the pitch: a competitor and funded-player map, a prior-art search across patents and papers, a hostile review of the three strongest arguments against the idea, and a verdict on which parts survive. AI-driven research over hundreds of sources, every finding checked by a human and linked so you can verify it. The sample report on marklode.com ended in "do not file" because the core mechanism was already claimed in a 2016 patent, while the narrower observation underneath it was open. That is the point: know before you spend. I'm bootstrapped and taking founding-rate orders this month in exchange for honest reviews. Ask me anything about method.
