How we get our data

At Unicorn Nest, we combine cutting-edge technology with human expertise to build one of the most reliable venture capital databases in the market. Our process begins with automated AI-enhanced data collection, leveraging the full potential of Large Language Models (LLMs).

Later, our team of analysts takes it further with manual verification, using proprietary tools for data cleaning and validation to ensure accuracy and reliability. We cross-check and enhance our findings through press and media monitoring, integrating information from trusted news outlets and venture capital aggregators. Finally, we stay ahead of the curve by monitoring social networks like LinkedIn and X.com.
